Rhodococcus equi (R. equi) is the leading cause of pneumonia in young foals, often striking early in life with lung abscesses, fever, and respiratory distress—and it can be fatal if missed.

We’re conducting a short, anonymous survey to better understand how this disease is managed in the field. Your insight will directly support improved prevention and outcomes.

I was diagnosed with a Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) recently. It was a severe case which came along with all the symptoms of Irritability, decreased activity, porr appetite , not being able to breathe to fast/shallow breathing, wheezing, chest retractions, i kid you not when I say i have never felt a crushing pain on my chest like this including horses flipping over and landing a saddle horn right there. I was 3 days into this looking at 2 week healing time with as severe as it was. In the night of day 3 i picked some stuff up Sondra Fashner that was natural supplements and super boosted my immune system
With day 5-7 supposed to the worst of it all it never happened on day 4 I woke feeling better day 5 better yet and day 6 I was waking up with no congestion but I it would still build up a little through the day and I was able to do chores and take care of things before I was even supposed to be at the worst of it. This was along side the antibiotics that the doctors gave me
