What Are Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV)? | |
---|---|
Both of these diseases are viruses spread by mosquitoes that bite birds. This means that EVERY horse, whether in a big barn or a back yard, is at risk for exposure to these two diseases.

Protecting your Horse from EEE and WNV | |
---|---|
There are a few ways to protect your horse from EEE and WNV:
If your horse is showing signs of EEE or WNV, your veterinarian will likely take a blood test to determine if he does have these diseases. Unfortunately, a number of serious illness can look like EEE and WNV, including rabies, EHV-1, EPM, and others. Because both EEE and WNV are caused by viruses, THERE IS NO CURE . Veterinarians can provide supportive care and help your horse feel better while he battles these viruses, but ultimately, it is up to the horse's immune system to combat these diseases. Vaccination gives a horse a much better chance of survival . If you have questions about vaccination or think your horse may have EEE or WNV, please call our office immediately at 609-291-0535 or contact us through our website here. |
