Mystery of the Coughing Quarter Horse

Thank you to Trudell Animal Health for sponsoring this program!

 

You receive a call from a concerned horse owner about Jazz, a slightly overweight quarter horse who has had a sporadic cough for over a year.  Despite supportive care and living outside in a beautiful sunny pasture, Jazz has random episodes of respiratory distress and sometimes they are very scary.   What would you do?

Join host Dr. Jill Lopez and her special guest, veterinary internist and horse specialist, Dr. Jean-Yin Tan who reveals all about the Mystery of The Coughing Quarter Horse.

Dr. Tan graduated from Cornell University with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2005 and completed an internship at Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center in New Jersey.

She completed equine acupuncture training in 2010 and in 2011 Dr. Tan opened a successful ambulatory and referral equine veterinary clinic in Upstate New York, where she served as Managing Partner.
