Collapsed Nostril

Hi
My horse just got scoped and has a collapsed nostril. I am hoping there is some type of help out there for him. Has anyone had any any experience with this problem and any solutions?

Thanks deb

I've never heard of one.

I did have a thought though. I've seen 3-D event horses wearing something like the Breathe Right Nasal Strip. Maybe you could experiment with one or several to help his breathing.

Hi thanks for the thought, but they only work for the false nostril..if it is impaired or what have you. It's about 6 inches up from the false nostril and is very compromised. It will take some kind of surgery if any exists...was hoping someone had heard of such a surgery.
Thanks for thinking of me.
