EHV-1 in Nova Scotia

"Charlie" would like to share some welcome news 😉!

As horse owners know, there were recently confirmed cases of EHV-1 in Nova Scotia (1 confirmed, 3 presumptive) which resulted in the loss of some horses and a barn closure in addition to some anxiety and stress.

As a result of many level-headed people in the NS horse community pulling together and making the good choice to stay home and post-pone some events there has been no further spread and no additional cases for at least 3 weeks.

This means the risk of further cases associated with this outbreak is considered low and we should all be thankful and feel comfortable resuming normal activities.

As a matter of good biosecurity and hygiene, newly introduced horses (especially those shipped from long distances) should be isolated for at least 2 weeks from existing horses on a property when bringing new horses in.

Also, maintaining up-to-date vaccination is a good tool to help prevent risk across the horse population.

If you have any questions about how best to prevent the spread of disease, it is always best to contact your equine veterinarian to have that conversation.
