In this special Ranch Beat episode, Dr. Rich Brazil joins me to lend his insight on the current outbreak of Equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) canceling major events across the horse world. He answers your questions like: What is EHV-1? Is there a vaccine? How does it spread? What are early symptoms? How should you handle a horse you believe may have been exposed?
Then we answer a few audience questions and talk about his life as a large animal vet, father of eight (including me!), and Ranch Vision founder.
Enjoy this episode and let me know what you’d like to learn about next!
