Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is one of the most important neurological diseases of horses in North America. It’s caused by infection of the central nervous system by protozoal pathogen Sarcocystis neurona, and to a lesser extent, Neospora hughesi. Horses with EPM can present with a variety of clinical signs, which can make identifying cases difficult. Some of the most common clinical signs include incoordination, weakness, and asymmetrical muscle atrophy (uneven muscle loss). While m

“How do I know for sure my horse really has EPM?” It’s the number one question Dr. Steve Reed from @roodandriddle hears about equine protozoal myeloencephalitis. Because so many horses carry antibodies, a blood test alone can’t confirm disease. True diagnosis depends on seeing the big three signs—ataxia, asymmetry, and atrophy—and comparing antibody levels in blood and spinal fluid. That’s why a spinal tap remains the gold standard for accuracy. #EPM #EPMhorse #EPMtreatment #horsehealth | TheHor

Dr. Sarah Colmer of New Bolton Center says the outlook for a horse with equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) depends largely on how severely it’s affected. Mild cases—such as horses showing subtle incoordination—often recover well. But horses with severe signs, like difficulty standing or swallowing, face a much tougher road. Because the disease and the body’s own inflammatory response both contribute to nerve damage, predicting recovery can be challenging. In general: the milder the signs,

Meet Saffron a 3 year old quarter horse gelding. Who was diagnosed with…. EPM a terrible disease….. Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM). While the definitive host (the animal that harbors the parasite in its adult, sexually reproductive stage) is not yet identified, it is thought that horses become infected by ingesting sporulated oocysts from the feces of the definitive host such as an opossum, raccoon, coyotes, rats, dogs, cats and who knows what else.

This is EPM. Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis. (Watch her hind legs - especially the left side) Rain completed her 6 month course of antibiotics/antiprotozoal medication last week. She was good - a little misstep here and there. For the past 72 hours, she's had major neurological issues. She basically walks sideways. This is not normal for post treatment, and makes me concerned that the medication didn't completely treat the disease. We desperately need to get her in for more bloodwork, and a
