🔔 ICYMI: We sat down with Dr. John Janicek of Brazos Valley Equine Hospitals - Salado for an important conversation on Wobbler Syndrome.

“Sometimes owners and even vets assume it’s EPM because the horse seems neurological. But if your horse isn’t improving after a round or two of EPM treatment, it’s probably time to look deeper. Early, accurate diagnosis of Wobbler Syndrome is critical to successful treatment.” – Dr. John Janicek
