IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!

With the recent positive case of EEE (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) in Cape Breton we are trying to be proactive with ensuring your horses are protected from the spread of EEE.

EEE or triple E is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Wild birds are a natural carrier of the virus and the virus is spread by mosquitoes. A mosquito has to get the virus from an infected bird to be able to spread it. The virus cannot be spread from horse to horse.

The clinical signs of this virus come abruptly, which can include depression, fever, lethargy and neurological symptoms including tremors, weakness, ataxia, paralysis, seizures & decreased awareness of surroundings.

EEE is a very serious diease, that comes with a very high mortality (death) rate (~90%) and unfortunately there is no cure for EEE, the most important thing in controling this disease is vaccinating the local horses and donkeys

How can it be prevented?

Vaccination is the most important thing to prevent this disease.
- if a horse has not been vaccinated, they need to be vaccinated ASAP and have the vaccine boostered in 4 weeks
-if the horse was vaccinated LESS than 6 months ago -NOTHING IS NEEDED
- if the horse was vaccinated MORE than 6 months ago - THEY SHOULD RECEIVE A BOOSTER VACCINE

In addition to vaccinations its important to eliminate standing water sources as this is the breeding grounds for mosquitoes

If your horses are not up to date within the last 6 months or you have any questions or concerns, please contact our clinic.

Requirements for dogs coming from high-risk countries have not changed, and these dogs must always be provided with additional documentation.
To go to the USA:
