What Is Nebulisation for Horses?

Nebulisation is a simple and effective way to support your horse's respiratory health. It works by delivering a fine mist of liquid directly into the airways, allowing active ingredients to reach the lungs quickly and efficiently.

Arbalou Soins offers the HorseNeb nebuliser for both sale and hire, along with a complete range of compatible accessories. Arbalou Phyto Respir Syrup, our plant-based respiratory formula, is suitable for use with the HorseNeb mask and works perfectly with the HorseNeb nebuliser by Greenpex. In addition to nebulisation, respiratory supplements and carefully selected essential oils can help support your horse's normal respiratory function.

How Does Nebulisation Work?

Nebulisation is a treatment method that converts a liquid solution into a fine aerosol, allowing your horse to inhale microscopic droplets directly into the respiratory tract. This targeted delivery system enables the active ingredients to reach the upper and lower airways efficiently.

Veterinarians may recommend nebulisation as part of the management of respiratory conditions such as:

• Equine asthma (heaves/COPD)
• Chronic cough
• Inflammation of the airways
• Respiratory infections
• Excess mucus production
• Exercise-induced respiratory irritation

Depending on your veterinarian's recommendations, the nebuliser may be used to administer bronchodilators, corticosteroids, mucolytics, antibiotics, or specially formulated respiratory solutions.

Benefits of Nebulisation

Nebulisation offers several advantages:

• Delivers active ingredients directly to the lungs.
• Provides rapid absorption where support is needed.
• Helps maintain healthy airways and normal breathing.
• May reduce the amount of product required compared with systemic administration.
• Can be used alongside environmental management to reduce exposure to dust, mould, and other airborne irritants.

For the best results, nebulisation should always be performed using appropriate equipment and according to your veterinarian's advice. Ensuring that your horse remains calm and comfortable throughout the treatment also contributes to its effectiveness.
