Indiana Standardbred Euthanized Due To Equine Herpesvirus

A Standardbred in Shelby County, In., was confirmed to have the neurological form of equine herpesvirus (EHV-1) on Dec. 6 by the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. 

The 3.5-year-old filly, who was displaying neurologic deficits, was euthanized. The 39 horses that had been exposed are under quarantine and are being monitored twice daily for temperatures over 101.5 and for other EHV signs. 

A second premise in Madison County, In., has been quarantined and the horses there are being monitored closely.
