Congratulations! You have successfully completed your first task.

Task II - Haley's Comet Has Heaves

Just like a veterinarian, you have made a diagnosis that Haley's Comet and Night Mare have heaves. Use the following websites to find out more about the causes and treatments of heaves. In your notebook, list some causes of heaves and indicate current treatments used by veterinarians. Work with your group to prepare questions to ask during the field trip to the horse stable. Make sure your questions cannot be answered with a yes/no or one word.

• Why do horses cough?
• Video of labored breathing
• Treatment

Now that you know more about the conditions, causes and treatments of heaves, you may go on to the next task.
