The Equine Disease Communication Center is monitoring an outbreak of EHM that originated at the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) World Finals and Elite Barrel Race event Nov 5-9. To date, officially confirmed cases have been reported in the following states-

What is Equine Herpesvirus (EHV)?

You've probably heard it called Rhinopneumonitis, a respiratory tract disease that results in "snotty noses," but EHV is more than that. Depending on the strain, this virus can also cause abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) — the often-deadly neurologic form of the disease.

Because EHV is endemic in many equine populations, most mature horses have developed some immunity through repeated natural infection. However, they remain a source of infection for other susceptible horses, like weaned foals and yearlings, who usually display symptoms of the respiratory form of the disease in autumn and winter. Performance and show horses are also more vulnerable to the disease, as they commingle with unfamiliar equines in close quarters while under stress from travel and competition.

Proper biosecurity protocols can help reduce EHV outbreaks and other disease transmission. A variety of vaccines are also available for protection against both the respiratory and abortive form of the disease, but there is no equine licensed vaccine at this time that has a label claim for protection against the neurologic form (EHM).

Consult your primary equine veterinarian to learn more about this disease and work with them to determine the optimal vaccine protocol for your horses.

You can learn more about all three forms on the Equine Disease Communication Center's website here: https://equinediseasecc.org/infectious-diseases

🌟 Introducing Franklin’s Fund 🌟

We are so proud to announce Franklin’s Fund — a Good Samaritan fund created to help horses and their families in times of need. 💛

This fund is named in honor of Franklin, a beloved French Percheron who was retired from the Charleston Carriage Industry and spent his final years here at Charleston Equine Clinic. Franklin was a true gentle giant — he brought joy to everyone who met him and was dearly loved by our staff and clients alike. 🐴

Through Franklin’s Fund, our community can carry on his spirit of kindness and generosity by helping horses in need. Donations to the fund go directly toward assisting owners who are struggling to cover veterinary expenses. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.

If you’d like to donate, you can call our office or mail a check to:

📍 Charleston Equine Clinic
122 Kay Lane

📞 843-875-5133

Together, we can honor Franklin’s legacy — one horse, one act of compassion at a time. 💛

💜 Celebrating Vet Tech Week – Honoring Grace! 💜
This week, we’re celebrating the incredible Grace, our amazing Inventory Manager who keeps our clinic (and our doctors!) running smoothly every day!

Grace makes sure every special medication is ordered and ready when patients need it, manages the doctors’ truck inventory with precision, and still finds time to lend a hand with patient care. 🐴💊🚚

What truly sets Grace apart is the way she helps every client with compassion and genuine care — treating each situation with understanding and individuality. 💕

And as if that’s not enough, she somehow manages to do all of this while taking care of her own herd of animals at home! 🐮🐴🐶

We are so thankful for Grace’s hard work, organization, and heart. Our team, clients, and patients are so lucky to have her! 💜

✨ Happy Veterinary Technician Week! ✨
This week, we’re celebrating our incredible Veterinary Assistant, Taylor! 💜

As our only full-time assistant, Taylor truly does it all — managing patient care, running lab work, assisting our doctors, answering client questions, and keeping the clinic running smoothly every single day.

We’re not sure how she does it all (we suspect Dr. Pepper and pure magic 🥤✨), but we do know we couldn’t do it without her!

Thank you, Taylor, for your hard work, dedication, and heart. Our patients, clients, and team are so lucky to have you! 🐴
