Unfortunately we lost a horse in our practice 2 weeks go to West Nile Virus. It was neurological and progressed very quickly. Despite infield treatment humane euthanasia was elected due to many factors.
Horse was not current on West Nile vaccine.
West nile virus is still a concern in our equine patients and we heavily recommend you contine to vaccinate for it.
We recommend and use Zoetis Core once a year (rabies, tetanus, West Nile virus, and Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis) and Fluvac innovator ehv 4/1 (rhinopneumonitis due to types 1 and 4 viruses, and equine influenza due to type A2 viruses) twice a year for traveling horses.
