My old barrel mare with is 25 I believed has relaped with her epm she has all the typical signs.  I thought some severe arthritis had kicked but looking at her more I don't think so.  She had epm severely about 8 years ago and has been fine up until now...  I know how much marquis is but I didn't know if there was something else around that anyone has used.  Thanks

Do you have to have a prescription for the Rebalance?

Diclozural (sp).  You can get it via Weatherford compounding pharmacy (TX) for $185.

Chances are that the horse has not relapsed after 8 years but perhaps has gotten reinfected. Baycox and Rebalance both wok quite well and both run around $300. prescription is necessary for both.

Rebalance is what I currently am treating with. My vet was originally going to have the sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine compounded but it was $180 for 30 day. The Rebalance is approximately $90-$100 but is only 23 day supply. It still comes out cheaper at around $300 for 90 day treatment vs $540 for compound. You will still need a script

Protazil pellets is what vet prescribed for my mare.
I don't think there are any cheap epm drugs out there.
I personally went with what my vet suggested.
Best of luck with your pony.
Epm is heart breaking that's for sure.

I used Rebalance. Wish I could offer a better option.

On a related note... Does anyone have a suggestion for EPM maintenance? I tried THE, but my mare hates the taste. Looking for another supplement.

Good luck curing your older horse. I know there are plenty of drugs that work well, but none of them are inexpensive.
