Not in NC at this point.

State veterinary officials are asking horse owners in North Carolina to watch for symptoms of a highly contagious equine disease following diagnoses of multiple horses with Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy, the neurologic disease associated with Equine Herpes Virus. Cases were confirmed Nov. 9 by the Texas Animal Health Commission and the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Currently, there are no confirmed cases of EHV-1/EHM in North Carolina.

“I encourage all horse owners, veterinarians and event organizers to take this current outbreak seriously and implement procedures to prevent further spread of the virus,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “I encourage event sponsors to take all necessary precautions to prevent further spread of this virus and protect equine health. Given the nature of this virus and routes of transmission, and out of an abundance of caution, I strongly recommend canceling or postponing equine events if possible as the best method to protect horses from further exposure until such time as the extent of the current outbreak has been determined.”

Thank you, Lu Mil Vineyard, for recognizing the need to support and help Bladen County’s abandoned, unwanted, and surrendered pets!
I’m thrilled and humbled, too, in your efforts.
Lu Mil is a long time community supporter! Our appreciation.
Love is a four-legged word😊

🐾🐾We are excited to share that Lu Mil Vineyard is partnering with A Shelter Friend of Bladen County for the 2025 Festival of Lights! 💫
All tips collected and change from our Wishing Well will be donated to this wonderful nonprofit organization, which rescues animals from county shelters and helps them find loving homes or foster families.🐾🐾
We are also collecting: towels, sheets, blankets (no down or fluffy stuffing), wet dog/cat food, and dry puppy/kitten food. Drop donations at the Gift Shop!
Together, we can help make a difference for these animals in need! 🐾
