Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis
By Michel Levy, DVM
Issue No. 1, 1998
Prognosis:
Early detection and therapy increase the chance of successful treatment. Response to treatment is highly variable; many treated horses return to their original level of function, however, some may not respond completely. In these horses, too many nerve cells are often destroyed to allow a complete cure. It is also estimated that approximately 10% of the cases relapse after treatment is discontinued. Some horses are currently on medication indefinitely.
EPM can be a frustrating disease. If you have questions about the disease, consult with your veterinarian or give us a call at (765)494-8548.
