Our office is aware of the recent EHV (Equine Herpes Virus)/EHM (Equine Herpesvirus Myeloencephalopathy) cases in TX and OK, and we are monitoring the situation closely. There are currently NO cases in Mississippi. If you have traveled to one of the recent events in Texas or Oklahoma where cases have been confirmed, isolate your horse(s) away from any other horse(s) for 14-21 days, monitor your horse closely and contact your veterinarian. If your horse has a temperature greater than 101.5 or exhibits neurological symptoms, contact our office and your veterinarian.

EHM is a neurologic syndrome caused from the EHV-1 virus. While EHV-1 is common in equine populations, the neurologic form of the disease is rare.

The virus is spread from horse to horse via nasal secretions, inhalation of the virus through respiratory droplets, and contact with contaminated sources (water buckets, tack, etc.). Humans can spread the virus from horse to horse, but this virus does not affect humans directly.

Adherence to biosecurity practices and disinfection of surfaces and equipment is vital to prevent the spread of this virus.

Minimize movement of horses that have been exposed or had the potential to be exposed to sick horses. Movement is the #1 driver in the spread of the virus.
