About this title

Synopsis

In 1997 Understanding EPM was the first book written for the layperson that dealt with the most common neurological disease diagnosed in horses in the Western Hemisphere: Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM). Now, six years later, Dr. David Granstrom takes another look at this pervasive equine disease, bringing readers up-to-date on the latest in medications and treatment methods. He also delves into what researchers have learned in the intervening years on the parasite that causes the disease, its life cycle, symptoms, and prevention. Researchers continue to work to develop more effective treatments because there is no definitive cure yet. EPM is most common in Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds but can affect any breed of horse. This book is essential for any horse owner or industry professional.
