I thought the only way to diagnose this illness was through a spinal tap and
even then about half of the horses will test positive without actually ever
having any symptoms. The vets on Ridecamp can better address this, I'm sure.
I have known of two horses who were diagnosed with it. One has apparently
recovered after months on the treatment protocol and the other is still
undergoing treatment. The key is early detection as far as saving the horse.
Good luck with your guy!!!
