Just a comment....a quart isn't much for a horse. If my memory serves, I believe Trem of Silvergen has posted (here?) that he gives his horses a quart a day as preventive. Don't know how much he would give them if one contracted EPM but you could email him and ask.

I also don't know how much EIS a horse can have before the GI bacteria in the cecum begins to be adversely affected, have you got any idea? Is that why you limit to a quart a day?

Why don't you simply keep CS in their drinking water all the time? That should prevent any relapses.

I wish it was that easy Marshall. We do better than putting CS in their drinking water, where it would be difficult to monitor exactly how much CS they're getting. We give them an average of a quart per day of CS directly into their feed. For years. And they relapse anyway. They relapse while they're getting a quart of CS per day. Somehow, we're not getting all of the protozoa. And we don't know why. But the pattern is pretty reliable -- they're symptom-free in cold weather, and symptoms start up again in warm weather. They are usually at their worst in the heat and humidity of mid-Summer, then start to normalize again in the Fall. Another thing -- stress can bring about EPM symptoms in an otherwise *cured* horse. We have actually stopped using the word *cure* at all with these horses. We refer to the lack of symptoms as *remission*. MA
