Vet Med Trail Packs, LLC, with the assistance of veterinarians, has developed a device to maintain an open airway for equines when extensive swelling of the nose and face occurs.  Equines are obligate nose breathers - they cannot functionally breath through their mouth.  This makes facial and nose swelling a life-threatening emergency due to the possibility of suffocation if the soft tissues of the nasal passages swell.  Unfortunately, many equine deaths following rattlesnake bites on the nose are due to this.  We have developed these rescue nasal tubes to be inserted in the horses nose during such emergencies to maintain an open airway while veterinarian assistance is called.  These tubes do not replace the need for veterinarian care, but will sustain the airway while help is being summoned.  Of particular importance, are the detailed instructions we include with these tubes.

Sizes available:
Extra Large:  Large Warmblood/Draft Horse
Large Horse:  Standard 1000 lb Horse
Small Horse/Pony
Small Pony
Miniature

Airway kit includes:
2 airway tubes
3 lubrication packets
