  1. For how long are the feces of opossums contagious for EPM to horses? We have some hay which is two years old but has opossum feces on it. Should we risk feeding it to horses? Published: January 05, 2010
  2. I have a TWH that had EPM, and I treated him 10 years ago. I still ride him, and he seems to be doing all right, but when he increases his speed, he seems uncoordinated and sometimes trips. Is this a result of EPM, and can I push him to go faster to increase his coordination? Published: February 17, 2009
  3. When a horse has EPM, can it lose range of muscle movement in the hind end? In this case, the animal appears to have a shortened forward reach with the hind end with a diagonal step. Published: January 17, 2008
