RE: [RC] [RC] ? EPM - Merryben

My horse, Rushcreek Olson, died in July of 1989, long before we knew about EPM. 
He was staggering and showed a lot of neurological problems and my vet came up 
and said take him to Davis.  We went straight there and he was there for five 
days.  He was on large doses of steroids and would be fine and then they would 
take him off and he would be down again.  When I talked to the vet taking care 
of him he said that he just did not know how to treat the horse cause they did 
not have a clue what was wrong with him.  He was euthanized then.  The 
university tested his feed and water and hay and could find nothing.  They did 
their usual teaching process complete necropsy and found nothing. 

Years later I was talking to my vet about it and she asked me what year it was 
and when I told her said it was probably EPM cause that was before they knew 
about it....mb
