I doubt it, because the incidence of bleeding overtly through the nose hasn't changed over the years, either here before lasix or in other jurisdictions without lasix.

I think it's just our diagnostic methods and knowledge have vastly improved. Now we see how much EIPH there actually is in horses.

We used to diagnose only via seeing nosebleeds. About 30 years ago we started using regular bronchoscopy stallside to look down in the trachea. Now we can do well-funded scientific research on high-speed treadmills and alveolar lavage of the lungs themselves.
