For some reason, this didn't make it to the list the first time... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ferne Fedeli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, May 31, 2008 at 11:44 AM Subject: EPM? To: icehorses@yahoogroups.com
Has anyone had any experiences with EPM? Magic has had this muscle wasting on his left hind for awhile and I thought either one of the other horses kicked him or he ran into a post or something. He's had a couple of sessions with Barbara Chasteen, who does bodywork and she thought the same thing. When the vet was here for the horses shots a couple of weeks ago, she said it also could possibly be EPM, as muscle wasting is one of the signs. She called me back yesterday about my old Arab, who has Ringbone (another story) and asked if I had thought about testing Magic for EPM. I read up on it on The Horse and also saw there were lots of pros and cons on the tests for it, such as false positives and false negatives, so don't quite know what to do at this point. Anybody got any good ideas? Ferne Fedeli
