anginákra

Anginákra is a term used in veterinary medicine, particularly in the context of horses. It refers to a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the airways. This condition is often triggered by allergens present in the horse's environment, such as dust, mold, or pollen. Symptoms can include coughing, wheezing, nasal discharge, and labored breathing, especially during or after exercise. The severity of anginákra can vary from mild discomfort to significant impairment of a horse's athletic performance and overall well-being.

Diagnosis typically involves a thorough physical examination by a veterinarian, often including listening to the horse's lungs and observing its breathing pattern. Further diagnostic tools may include airway endoscopy to visualize the airways and sample fluid for analysis. Treatment strategies for anginákra focus on managing the inflammation and reducing exposure to allergens. This may involve environmental modifications, such as improving stable ventilation and using dust-free bedding, as well as medical interventions like corticosteroids or bronchodilators. While there is no cure for anginákra, effective management can significantly improve the horse's quality of life and ability to perform.
