Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today’s episode, we’re tackling an often controversial topic in equine health: Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis, also known as EPM. Dr. Alberto Rullan is joined once again by Dr. Colton Ramstrom to discuss the complexities of EPM, including its elusive nature, diagnostic challenges, and treatment options.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
• The challenges and frustrations of diagnosing and treating EPM, including the limited testing options and the fact that many horses test positive for antibodies without clear clinical signs.
• How difficult it is to distinguish EPM from other neurological diseases and the importance of having a thorough holistic approach to identify potential underlying issues.
• The different variety of treatments available, including FDA-approved and non-approved options.
• How to approach testing and treatment decisions, including ruling out other diseases and monitoring your horse for specific symptoms.
