Oregon State Veterinarian Don Hansen has released
an alert about reported cases of Equine Herpes Virus-1
(EHV-1).
As of early January 2007, EHV-1 had not been
detected in Oregon; however, it is extremely important that cases
of EHV-1 be reported to state-federal animal health officials so
that current information be provided to veterinarians and equine
animal owners.
Potential Clinical Signs of EHV-1:
- Respiratory signs
- Fever
- Neurologic signs
- Abortion
Consult your veterinarian with any concerns or
questions you may have about EHV-1 and your horses.
