Significant, inexplicable drop in performance in a 4-year-old trotting mare. Bronchoscopy/overground endoscopy, diagnosis: dorsal displacement of the soft palate, tie forward operation. Complications after surgery: swelling and purulent inflammation of the larynx despite non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Therapy: daily inhalation with brine and anoxil (50/50) for 30 minutes. 5 days later, there was a noticeable improvement. Further inhalation 3x per week with brine. In addition to training 2x per week, preventative brine inhalation. First start after 6 months – to date, 4 starts: 2 wins, 2 places.
