Got to disagree with that one. A group of us successfully treated our horses for EPM with CS, orally -- some of us treating for three years or more. None of these horses demonstrated digestive problems as a result. All of them recovered from EPM. If digestive problems are a concern, simply put the horse on a probiotic. The story about CS affecting septic arthritis in the knee joint is amazing. One that I'll tuck in the corner of my mind for future reference. MA
