    A new study on EIPH and Salix

    Abstracts have just been released for the upcoming Equine Science Society Symposium to be held in New Mexico at the end of May. Among the abstracts is a very interesting paper on EIPH completed by Dr Joe Pagan and colleagues. The abstract reads: Furosemide reduces the energetic cost of exercise in Thoroughbreds independent of its effect on EIPH J.D. Pagan, B.M. Waldridge, C. Whitehouse, L. Dalglish, S. Fuchs, and M.
