Equine Heaves (RAO): Chronic Airways Disease in Horses
Heaves is asthma for horses — an allergic lung condition causing cough and breathing difficulty. Management keeps horses working.
Recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), commonly called heaves or broken wind, is a chronic allergic respiratory disease of horses. It's similar to human asthma and causes airway inflammation, bronchospasm, and mucus accumulation. With proper management, most horses continue athletic careers.
