AeroHippus Equine Aerosol Chamber is used along with a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI), also known as a puffer, to deliver aerosol medication to your horse.

Respiratory problems may temporarily or permanently reduce the anticipated performance levels.

Respiratory disease in equines affects the ability of the horse to be a good recreational or performance horse. The equine ventilatory environment and exposure to recurring viruses may cause coughing and decreased airway responsiveness lasting from a few days up to several months.

Progressive clinical signs of this disorder are persistent with intermittent cough, poor exercise tolerance, appearance of an abdominal lift and finally severe respiratory distress.

Traditionally horses were delivered inhaled aerosol medications via aerosol mask chambers. These chambers are bulky and can be difficult to use. In addition, some horses may become quite agitated when the mask is placed over their muzzle.

This is a convenient, portable chamber which is simply placed over one of the horse's nostrils. Once the puffer is depressed the chamber separates the large particles from the small, breathable particles and holds them suspended until the horse inhales – allowing for the delivery of medication to the lungs. Chamber volume is 198mL.

For delivery of medication using a wet aerosol nebulizer or ultrasonic device use AeroMask.
