Equine asthma affects many horses to varying degrees and can ultimately inhibit performance and cause quality of life concerns.

Presenter Dr. Tomlinson received her DVM from Cornell University in 2010 and completed a large animal internal medicine residency at New Bolton Center, University of Pennsylvania in 2014. She has been a clinician at Cornell's Equine Hospital since 2014. Dr. Tomlinson is also a Research Associate at the Baker Institute for Animal Health in the Van de Walle lab.
Her current research focuses on the characterization of two recently discovered equine hepatitis viruses: equine parvovirus-hepatitis, the suspected cause of Theiler's disease in horses, and equine hepacivirus, a cause of chronic hepatitis. Her clinical research includes investigation of Equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis (EMPF), which can be mistaken for asthma.

Held on the second Tuesday of most months, equine experts present on important equine health and management topics. The event is free and open to the public.
