Bayhill Equine Sports Medicine and General Practice has posted a health alert regarding an EHV-1 outbreak in Utah: http://www.bayhillequine.com/BayhillEquine/EHV-1_2011.html
A recent disease outbreak of Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy (EHV-1) has been traced to horses who attended the National Cutting Horse Associations’ Western National Championships in Ogden, Utah on April 30 – May 8, 2011. California horses who participated in this event may have been exposed to this EHV-1 virus. We thank them for posting this information and encourage all SFP members to consult their veterinarian about the management of their horse’s health.
