Lake County Quarantine Lifted

The Indiana State Board of Animal Health has lifted the quarantine on a Lake County horse boarding facility, a restriction put into place last month after a horse was confirmed positive with a neurological disease known as equine herpesvirus-1 , or E-H-V-1. Forty-five horses stabled at the facility have been determined to be free of the disease after being closely monitored for 30 days under the direction of a board veterinarian. Horse owners are advised to talk to a veterinarian about the EHV vaccine... and, when traveling to exhibitions and/or out-of-state, to contact that state to determine if additional requirements must be met due to a case being identified in Indiana.
