This webinar will review the pathophysiology of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) and dive into advances in diagnostics and treatment for horses with EPM. Serum titer vs. serum:CSF ratio, the importance of CSF tap location, and biomarkers of EPM and new research on persistent infection and EPM relapse.
In this expert-led session, you’ll learn how to identify cardiac murmurs in equine patients and hemodynamic consequences of different murmurs and how to describe and manage common cardiac murmurs and when to refer a horse for further evaluation.
EPM is an infectious, progressive neurological disease that affects horses following environmental exposure to opossum feces. EPM can cause devastating and lasting neurological damage and any horse is susceptible.

The Global Pocket Reader Plus (GPR+) is an ISO compliant universal microchip scanner for horses. It is able to read and store up to 3,000 unique microchip identification numbers, and displays and stores microchip temperatures when reading Bio-Thermo® microchips4. The GPR+ scanner is compatible with the EquiTrace® app, and when used in conjunction, syncs microchip […]
LifeChip microchips are Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems which offer unique and unalterable identification for horses. The microchip is a passive transponder, each about the size of a grain of rice, programmed with a unique 15-digit identification number compatible with ISO Standards 11784 and 11785.
Bio-Thermo microchips contain a patented built-in temperature biosensor1, and are therefore able to measure a horse’s temperature at the implantation site. It is an easy, safe, and quick alternative method of taking multiple temperature measurements.
This course provides an overview of diagnostics and treatment approaches to the most common causes of the equine acute abdomen (commonly referred to as colic). We will discuss the most prevalent conditions — how to manage them medically on the farm and when to consider referral to a veterinary hospital.
