The pessimist sees a diagnosis of EPM as a dark, expensive tunnel. We are optimistic scientists and see your case as an opportunity!

Worried that her horse had EPM the pessimist looks at all the options, finding the treatment the veterinarian recommended very expensive. Also finding that some OTC medications make horses worse. This left the pessimist confused.

Instead of dispair we see your horse as an example of what our science shows: that we can treat signs of EPM after licensed treatments fail. We are so confident if you cn't afford it we will pay for the licensed treatment if you agree to enroll in our Field Study if your horse fails after getting the licensed treatment.

Optimist or pessimist, if your vet wants to treat with a licensed mediation you can't afford, let us help! For a limited number of horses we will provide the licensed treatment at no cost to those in need. Call or email to discuss and get the process started.

Often signs of neuromuscular disease includes weakness, unusual or atypical lameness, behavior changes, seizures, and signs often recur after treatment. Clinical signs can vary from acute to chronic. Our data base evaluted over the last 10 years shows the mortality rate of horses is 3.6%, just above the USDA 2015 National rate of 3.3%. Horses without a diagnosis of EPM or PNE had a 1.5% mortality rate. Horses with a presumptive diagnosis of EPM had a mortality rate of 5%. However, Horses with a diagnosis of PNE had a mortality rate of 56%. PNE is a progressive lethal disease that needs treatment options.
