Will FLAIR Strips help a horse with lower airway disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD or “heaves”)?
Clinical studies have not been conducted to objectively prove FLAIR Strips provide benefit to horses with lower airway disease. However, many horsemen using FLAIR Strips report that horses that are heavy or have lower airway disease are more relaxed and breathe easier when using Nasal Strips. This makes sense since in many lower airway diseases the elasticity of the lungs and the ability to draw air in is reduced.
