Neurological Issues in Horses

Neurological diseases in horses encompass conditions such as equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM), equine herpesvirus (EHV) myeloencephalopathy, and wobbler syndrome, leading to symptoms like ataxia, weakness, and paralysis.

Diagnosis often involves neurological exams, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory tests, with treatment aimed at managing symptoms, reducing inflammation, and addressing underlying causes when possible.
