Well I had the vet come out today, Traveler has EPM.  So now I'm trying to find the best price on Marquis and looking at other additional treatment options (holistic/herbal etc).  Any words of wisdom?

What made you have the vet out?  Which test did they do for the EPM diagnosis?  Sorry for all the questions but I have known a few people that were mis diagnosed and they sure do seem to be having a lot of this going around.  On the other hand, I have known a few people that did the treatment and still use their horses with no other effects.  Sorry about this. 

Val, trust me its been a crazy time!!!

Originally, had one vet out, who didn't at first think it was EPM, but because Trav was acting so much like Victory was (who if you remember was diagnosed as having Tetanus), it started freaking me out and I was reading everything I could find.  So I told the vet I wanted the blood test, even tho it had a high chance of showing a false positive.  She didn't want to do it, and 2 weeks later, I now have my results:  a low positive.  Which I've been told by another vet (yes I had one out for a second opinion) that the lower positive horses usually display worse symptoms.  So instead of getting the Cpap done on him ($$$ and dangerous for him) I opted to go right into treatment.  Better that then wait another 2-3 weeks.  So the Marquis will be here on Wed.  I'll keep you updated!!

Good luck with the treatment and keep us informed.  You do know that sometimes EEE EW and west nile have some of the same symptoms don't you?
