Apparatus adapted to be at least partially inserted into a nostril of a large animal such as a horse for administering an aerosol to the large animal, the large animal having a nasal passageway and a nasal-pharyngeal cavity, the apparatus being adapted for use with an aerosol generating device, the apparatus comprising: a conduit having outer surfaces, a proximal end, a distal end having an outlet, and inner surfaces that are sized and shaped to afford passage of an aerosol through the conduit, the inner surfaces defining a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends and opening to said outer surfaces at said outlet, the lumen being sized and shaped to afford expansion of an aerosol during at least a portion of the passage through the conduit; the conduit having a length which affords locating the outlet in the nasal passageway of the large animal without projecting into the nasal-pharyngeal cavity of the large animal; and connecting surfaces for connecting the conduit to an aerosol generating device so that the outlet of the conduit may be placed in fluid communication with an aerosol generating device.
