A Horse, of Course
with Don Blazer

The chances your horse is going to die from Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) are slim and none.
The chances your horse is going to die from a Coggins test are very good.
Why? Money!

EIA is a viral disease characterized by a hemolytic anemia, depression,intermittent fever
and sometimes edema. Do horses die from it? Sometimes, but rarely. I asked dozens of
veterinarians if they had ever seen a horse die of EIA. None had. I’ve been a horseowner and
trainer for more than 40 years, and I’ve never even seen a horse seriously ill from EIA.

Ask the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) how many horses die from EIA and the answer
is "we don’t have any idea." Yet it is the Code of Federal Regulations, Diseases in Horses,
which provides individual states the opportunity to adopt a quarantine or euthanize
(slaughter) means to eradicate the disease.

And most states are doing just that - quarantining and killing useful, apparently
healthy horses which test positive for EIA. Has there been eradication of the disease
over the last 30 years? Of course not!
