Editor’s note: We appreciate the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services sharing horse health information with the Equine Disease Communication Center (EDCC), and thus the industry. Please encourage your state veterinarian’s office to work with the EDCC, and remember that individual veterinarians can provide information on equine diseases to the EDCC. Learn more about EDCC from this Disease Du Jour podcast with Dr. Nat White.
