Unlike the incidence of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis
(EPM), which appears to be increasing, headshaking is an
uncommon problem for horses in Missouri and the adjacent
states. Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis was incriminated
in three horses examined for the treatment of headshaking
on the basis of a neurological examination, an analysis of
cerebrospinal fluid and their response to treatment. The
headshaking and stereotypical behaviour associated with EPM
was successfully treated with potentiated sulphonamides
and pyrimethamine.(EPM 7)
