Around the Practice

Diarrhea, does it ever end? This clinical problem is one of the most difficult and sometimes fatal diseases facing horses and their owners. The causes can be several, but the big three are Salmonella spp, Neoriskettsia risticii (Potomac Horse Fever) and Clostridium difficile or perfringens.

Of these three; Potomac Horse Fever (PHF) is sometimes forgotten. This is either because it has a fairly low incidence, because people have vaccinated to prevent it or we

simply think that it does not occur in our area of the country. However, the causative organisms are in Central Kentucky and after the very wet spring we have had followed by the recent episodes of heat, the environment is right for the organisms to be present in high numbers. PHF has been recognized as an equine disease since 1979 and is typically associated with areas in close proximity to freshwater streams and water sources.

There are a couple of possible routes of infection for horses as they graze and drink in affected areas. The trematode worm larva, commonly known as flukes, is thought to be the primary carrier of N. risticii and can be directly consumed. Alternatively an intermediate host may be consumed; this is an organism that is harboring encysted and infected trematode larva. The intermediate host will act as a carrier as it is consumed by the horse. These may include Caddis and May flies, both of these insects hatch in mass numbers in the summer and fall. Horses may ingest the flukes or flies while grazing near a water source or from the surface of the water as the horses drink.

There is no evidence, after extensive investigation, to consider ticks as a possible source of infection or as an intermediate host. There is also little cause for concern for transmission between horses. All the horses will be at risk if there are high numbers of organisms present in their environment but they will not pass the disease between them from direct contact or from the normal consumption of feces at pasture. Once in the horse N. risticii has an incubation period of 1 to 3 weeks. The initial clinical signs are usually fever, lack of appetite and depression; this could be followed by “cow-pie” feces and sometimes more profuse diarrhea. These signs may or may not be accompanied by laminitis or founder. Not all PHF cases will exhibit all 3 of the main clinical signs (fever, diarrhea and laminitis). N. risticii is thought to cause profuse diarrhea because of its predilection for the wall of the large colon, an important portion of the horses’ gastrointestinal (GI) tract. A change to these cells in the intestinal wall

organisms.”

reduces the surface area and the efficiency of absorption of electrolytes from the material within the large colon. This leads to higher water content in the digested material which passes into the small colon and is expelled as diarrhea. Changes in the balance of good and bad bacteria in the GI tract at this time mean that these horses must be isolated from the general herd. The organism is also carried around the body in a particular type of white blood cell (WBC).

So, what should you do if you are concerned that your horse may have PHF? Any concerns for the health and well being of the horse should always be communicated to your Veterinarian;

they will have questions about the horses’ medical history, the current environment that the horse lives in and specific questions relating to the symptoms that you are seeing. It is always advisable to take the horses temperature if they appear quiet or depressed, there is evidence loose feces or they appear foot sore; the normal temperature range is 99-101˚f.

Very sensitive testing for the presence of both the N. risticii DNA (PCR testing) and antibodies specific to N. risticii (IFA testing) can be easily undertaken under the guidance of a Veterinarian. They will draw a blood sample and collect a fecal sample; these can be submitted to the University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory (UKVDL) with results available in approximately 24 hours.

Treatment for PHF under the direction of your veterinarian will likely include Oxytetracycline for its antimicrobial properties. Additional medications and therapies will be individually tailored to each case; anti inflammatory drugs will be used for fever reduction and comfort with intravenous fluids being administered for cases with diarrhea to regulate the bodies’ fluid balance. Advances in our understanding of laminitis recommend keeping the horses’ feet in continuous ice for approximately 72 hours alongside supportive padding for the sole of the foot. The care for a horse suffering from all symptoms of PHF often necessitates hospitalization. The prognosis for horses that test positive for PHF varies with the severity of their symptoms. Many horses with only a mild exhibition of symptoms will respond within 12-24 hours of initiating treatment, the disease should not progress any further. If a horse has severe symptoms i.e. profuse diarrhea or laminitic changes to the feet the disease can become life threatening.

There are vaccines commercially available for horses that are specific to only one of the strains of N. risticii (there are >14 strains); this means that the vaccine is not 100% effective. The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) has published a recommended vaccination schedule that is available to read on their website (http://www.aaep.org/vaccination_guidelines.htm). Due to the seasonal incidence of the disease, your veterinarian will suggest a vaccination schedule that is timed to precede the anticipated peak challenge during the summer months or fall. It is still worth vaccinating in August to help with coverage through late summer and into the fall months.

There are a few environmental changes that can be made to a property to limit the exposure of horses to the flukes and intermediate host organisms. These include keeping barn and outdoor lights off at night thus reducing the number of flies attracted to a grazing or housing area. Natural water sources, streams and creeks, can be fenced off as well as boggy, waterlogged areas; more controlled water sources should be used for the grazing herd. All feed tubs, automatic water troughs and water buckets should be cleaned on a regular basis for dead flies and insects.

This year the First Annual Hats Off Day Equine Book Fair was held to rave reviews. The many outstanding authors included Elizabeth Letts, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Eighty-Dollar Champion, which tells the true story of Hall of Fame show jumper Snowman and his owner, rider, and trainer, Harry de Leyer.

The day was capped off by the largest attendance ever at the $50,000 Rood & Riddle Kentucky Grand Prix. The opening ceremonies for the Grand Prix wowed

Kentucky Horse Park. Bill Cooke, the director of the Museum, received the painting on behalf of the Park.

The true climax of the night, came when Irish rider Shane Sweetnam won the Rood & Riddle Kentucky Grand Prix aboard Fineman in front of a huge crowd in Rolex Stadium. Riders and trainers were thrilled with the attendance calling it the best attended class at the Horse Park all year. The Rood & Riddle Kentucky Grand Prix has quickly become one of the premier events in stadium showjumping due to the level of competition and the great crowd interaction.

congratulate Thomas Edison, the 2012 Rood & Riddle Thoroughbred Sport Horse of the Year Award recipient during TOBA’s Awards Dinner this past September 6th.

Thomas Edison, a 14 year old show jumper by Handsome Character and out of Love to Kiter, bred by Cheramy Ates, Hector Mesta & Marlea Mesta, had five starts in his Thoroughbred racing career though he never hit the board. Now owned by Alex Jayne of Illinois and Ira Schulman of Arizona, the 2012 Rood & Riddle Sport Horse of the Year boasted a banner year in the show jumping ring under the expert guidance of Maggie Jayne who rode him in all of his USEF events in 2012.

Many times after Thoroughbreds have completed their race careers, they are ideal candidates for another vocation. To call attention to these horses’ second career possibilities, Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital has created an award to be presented to the top Thoroughbred sport horse each year.

Since 2009 Rood & Riddle has partnered with the United States Equestrian Federation and TOBA to sponsor this award which is presented at the annual TOBA Awards Dinner. This award is presented to the best Thoroughbred in a sporting vocation other than racing. The winner is selected by a committee formed by the chef d’equipe of each of the top four disciplines in which Thoroughbreds compete in USEF competitions (Show Jumping, Hunters, Eventing and Dressage) with a fifth vote given to celebrity Thoroughbred trainer Michael Matz who has had a standout career in both Thoroughbred racing and equestrian sport.

“These awards are a wonderful way to heighten awareness so that we may broaden Thoroughbred horses’ careers beyond the racing world,” comments TOBA President Dan Metzger. “By spotlighting their successes in second careers, we hope the awards will encourage people to rehabilitate and retrain Thoroughbreds after they have retired from racing.”
