I'd like to talk about a common misconception among equine veterinarians and horse owners. It seems that many people (both veterinarians and clients) assume that all neurologic issues in horses are caused by EPM (Equine Protazoal Myeloencephalitis). While EPM is not an uncommon cause of neurologic symptoms, it is far from the only possible cause.

Possible causes of neurologic issues in horses include:
Infection by certain viruses (equine herpes, West Nile, eastern and western equine encephalitis, etc)
Head trauma
Cervical spinal malformation (wobblers)
Spinal OCD lesions
Spinal trauma
EPM
Neuron degenerative disease
Brain tumors

This list, while not absolute, contains the most common causes of neurologic dysfunction in the horse.

My point in saying this is to promote an understanding that if appropriate therapy for EPM has already been attempted in a horse with neurologic symptoms and the symptoms are still present, then it is probably safe to say that EPM is not the cause. That means another problem is much more likely causing the issue, and a more complete exam needs to be done.

Some very significant causes of neck pain in horses are extremely easy to find with a simple ultrasound examination. Arthritis, subluxation, and even fractures of the neck can be seen quite well with ultrasonography.

Horses with injuries in the neck may show decreased willingness to bend one or both directions, pain to pressure on part of the neck, unusual front limb lameness, and/or an uncoordinated gait. At times, these horses appear to have EPM that doesn't respond to treatment.

An effective treatment plan begins with an accurate diagnosis.

We will be set up in Westcliffe, CO this Friday and Saturday, July 15 and 16 for the PRCA Westcliffe Stampede. Haul ins are welcome!
