Hey! My name is Celeste Cross. I am a boarder at a horse farm in Auburn, IN that has been hit with an EHV1 outbreak. A week ago from today, my best friends horse started showing signs of neurological distress (minimal control/strength of her hind end, no tail control, and most significant urine retention). The vet was onsite Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday trying his absolute best to put a plan in place to remedy the symptoms so sweet Remi could get some relief.
Monday we got the dreaded phone call that Remi tested positive for Equine Herpe Virus. Immediately our indoor was turned into a quarantine location and Remi was transferred to a temp stall in the indoor to be cared for.
Since Monday we have had four other horses present symptoms and be admitted to quarantine, one of which did not make it. We are all heartbroken and fighting with every fight we have to keep the still healthy horses healthy, and to help our affected horses recover.
As animal lovers, we are all on board to do everything that we can with our animals best interest and prognosis in mind. ANY help is welcomed and appreciated. Especially for those that might refuse medical treatment for the sole fact of lack of finances alone.
We have the best vets in the state on our team to get everyone treated as quickly as they present symptoms, and with that comes great cost. We have also had to purchase countless sterilization tools and necessities to continue to treat the affected horses. Our teams are working round the clock to keep the closest of eyes on all of our 40 horses. Anything counts, and everything is very much appreciated.
Below is our wishlist of supplies that are being used and disposed of daily!
