Has anyone had any experiences with EPM? Magic has had this muscle
wasting on his left hind for awhile and I thought either one of the
other horses kicked him or he ran into a post or something. <snip>
if I had thought
about testing Magic for EPM. I read up on it on The Horse and also
saw there were lots of pros and cons on the tests for it, such as
false positives and false negatives, so don't quite know what to do at
this point. Anybody got any good ideas?

Hi Ferne
I checked on AAEP site but I don't belong so have limited access. The
places I could go weren't very helpful - except that muscle wasting of
the the large muscles of the hip(s) can be a symptom. I don't know
enough about it to be helpful - but all tests have some false
negs/false positives - and generally are still worth running under the
right circumstances. Sounds like Magic needs a thorough neuro exam,
poor dude.
