I have a horse we just treated for EPM. I have heard it’s a good idea to put them on a vitamin E supplement after the treatment. Has anyone done this and thought it helped? Which supplement brand did you use? Also what kind of exercise regimine did you use to start getting your horse back?

Thanks!

Yes vitamin E in a must for ever! You Vet should tell you exactly how much. We just got the liquid vitamin E from our Vet.

as for as exercise we just started back slow just like coming back from any other break

Mine was treated 5 years ago but his EPM only affected his face.  Lost the muscle tone on the left side.  I still to this day give Vitamin E, Sliver Lining's Immune Support and their Brain and Nerve Support herbs.  He has never relapsed so I stuck with this regiment.

Yep, vet should tell you how much vitamin E. Mine is on 5000iU for life. I use this stuff....

As far as exercise after time off, just like bringing any other horse back. I started with 20 min rides the 1st week, increased by 5 min a week and was back in the arena in 5 weeks. She's a completely different horse.
