This is a debilitating disease. Sadly lost our 12 yr old thoroughbred in April. Do hope to see a cure one day.

Such an awful debilitating disease. We have many opossums in our area and I hope they steer clear of my horse!
They can come near me however as I think they’re so cute.

I strongly suggest that you vaccinate your horses against this disease. We recently had to put my friends horse down due to it and it was not a pretty site.
Great informational article though!

At least, we in far northern Michigan to not have many possums, but we have enough skunks.

Very good info…My friend and I are taking care of an elderly couple’s horses for them, and one of them has EPM… This was a very helpful article, as we had been wanting to know how EPM was spred and contracted. Thank You!

It’s nice to be informed about diseases horses can get. At least, we can watch for things.
