boon Posts: 1	I keep having the same experience over and over with people in this industry when it comes to dealing with EPM. Do people not realize that this is an epidemic? You cant just ignore the signs of EPM and hope that it will go away.........it wont, in fact its only going to get worse. The good thing about EPM is that it is treatable if you catch it early enough, but unfortunately most people don't want to admit that there is something wrong with their horse because this disease is so foreign to them. People need to start waking up and realizing that this disease is a real thing and can and will effect most horses at some point in time. Please start educating yourself so that you horses do not have to be the ones that have to suffer.

Member Posts: 8	So glad to see this post. I'm struggling with a horse who has mysterious symptoms. Bought him a month ago. He was a little underweight but otherwise seemed fine. Worked good, no soreness, etc. About 2 weeks after we got him, things went south -- he stopped sweating, lost weight, had hives over most of his body at times and lost the hair over his rump. He is also extremely sore over his whole back end -- not just typical joint soreness. Also, minor weakness in his back end. Blood work looked ok, no fever, nothing else noticeably abnormal (as if this isn't enough). Vet thinks it could be EPM so we are going to treat him for it. It's very frustrating as there is no definitive, concrete diagnosis tool and symptoms seem to vary greatly from horse to horse. Has anyone else experienced these type symptoms? They are different than most symptoms I've heard of, but I don't have a lot of experience with EPM. Also, any advice on the anhydrosis? I've had no success in getting him to sweat at this point.
