There is a lot of talk out there about the EHV-1 outbreak that recently started in Texas. Although there have not yet been any cases reported in the Aiken area (or in South Carolina), it is important for horse owners to be aware, be vigilant, and take appropriate precautions. The American Association of Equine Practitioners will hold a webinar about the disease this Tuesday. Click below for more information.
In light of the current EHV-1 outbreak, the AAEP and the Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC) have organized a horse owner education webinar to bring you the most up to date information on this issue.
Next Tuesday, join specialists Lewis R. “Bud” Dinges (Texas Animal Health Commission Executive Director and Texas State Veterinarian), Dr. Krista Estell (AAEP/EDCC) and Dr. Katie Flynn (USEF) for an informative discussion about what EHV-1 is, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to prevent its spread.
