Then he was on a large dose (8000IU+/day) of Natural Vit E supplement (which is to help with nerve regeneration/rehabilitation), and also an MSM supplement for inflammation and a muscle builder supplement for weight. He was kept in a small pen for about 6 months during treatment and then moved to a larger pen for about a month and eventually into a small pasture (about 80'x80'). He's had a slight regression due to moving around more and I had stopped his supplements, so I hope that getting him back on those supplements will help. Good luck and remember that this disease is a very SLOW one to overcome. You should also get a Spinal Tap if you can. That will tell you for sure if you are dealing with EPM, as there are a ton of other problems out there that, even with a positive blood test, it could be. Johnna,

Could you tell me what treatment you used? We found out yesterday my daughters horse has EPM and i am researching everything I can to find the best treatment for him. He shows signs of muscle atrophy in his neck & shoulders and the blood test was positive. I am trying to get him to Texas A&M for a second opinion. I glad your horse is doing well.
