Most difficult day of my life spurred me into creating a three part series on EPM.
In Part 2 of 3 episodes with a focus to shed light on EPM. Most horse owners that have even heard of EPM equate this disease as showing up as a horse with a wobbly or drunken hind end, though there are many small, red flags that show up long before a sudden onset of EPM. EPM is an infection of protozoa that attack the central nervous system of the end host, the horse. Some varieties of this protozoa tend more towards attacking the muscle, to learn more tune into this episode of Endurance Horse Podcast where we will hear two more stories from horse owners followed by an interview with Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM of Crosby Equine Services.

Karbo Combo Supplement
Pathogenes Labs Testing Lab for EPM “Pathogenes is a small research laboratory with large ideas, located in Fairfield, Florida. We test samples, analyze data, and invent tools to diagnose and treat horses with neurodegenerative diseases including EPM, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis.”
We were blessed to get you a code for Karbo Combo probiotic, use this at the Karbo Store Website. I tried Karbo Combo for a follow up probiotic after Grace's treatment for EPM. Grace had a significant improvement with Karbo Combo and continues to be on it. We also tried Karbo Combo for JR, I did not notice any difference with this product. With JR we did see a big difference in him with SarStart as an aftercare follow up, and with Grace, not much difference on Sarstart. Each horse has it's own individual biome, and what benefits one greatly may not have a significant affect on the next horse.
Before starting Karbo Combo, Grace could not back up straight, she was swinging her left hind leg significantly and backing up almost sideways. For Grace, after about three weeks on Karbo Combo we noticed a significant difference with her. She eats it readily, and she tends to be picky with powders etc, Karbo is a pellet and we plan to keep her on it for the rest of the year or longer. The Karbo Store gave us a one time use coupon code for our listeners to try Karbo Combo. We reached out to them because not only had other horse owners dealing with EPM had great things to say about Karbo Combo, so did Dr. Sam Crosby. It was at their recommendation that we gave Karbo a try and wanted to see if we would get get a better deal for you to try it at least once with your horses and see if it helps:
