Potomac Fever
(Continued from Page At)
Edelson says is very difficult to
control
During both the depression and
diarrhea phases, the animal’s
temperature may range from a
moderate increase over the nor
mal 99° to 101° range, to as high as
106°.
Following these two stages,
severe toxemia results from the
inability of the horse’s body to rid
itself of wastes generated by in
testinal bacterial action. The
normal term of the disease is six to
seven days.
Dr. Edelson reports that a
secondary complication arising
from the toxemia is the onset of
honors of the goat show. D.M.

Laminitis, or founder, charac
terized by a reluctance to walk. In
fact, walking may become so
painful for the horse that humane
destruction is advisable, says
Edelson.
The proper treatment involves
the use of what seems to be
“oceans” of Pepto Bismol and
Paragonc, by human standards.
Dr. Edelson treats an afflicted
animals at least three to four times
a day, using one quart of Pepto
Bismol and three to four ounces of
Paragonc at each application.
Three ounces of electrolytes
(salts) are also administered in
powder form mixed with water.
Because of the severe
dehydration often accompanymg
Potomac Fever, as much as 50
gallons of fluids will be ad
ministered intravenously
throughout the course of the
disease.
Total amounts of medicines
required will range from eight to 10
gallons of Pepto Bismol and half a
gallon of Paragoric.
But even among those animals
receiving proper treatment, a
mortality of about 20 percent will
occur, Edelson reports. About 30
percent of the horses contracting
the disease will founder, the
veterinarian states, and of these
animals, a large percentage will be
destroyed. Mortality among un
treated animals is about 75 per
cent.
The veterinarian stresses three
important factors in dealing
successfully with Potomac Fever.
First, early detection and treat
ment are of paramount im
portance. Second, very diligent
and aggressive treatment is ad
vised, and Edelson emphasizes
that the disease is almost im
possible to treat without
veterinary assistance. Finally, the
use of antibiotics like penicillin,
and anti-inflammatory medication
such as Butazolidin is very
detrimental.
“This year, due to a better un
derstanding of the disease, we’re
better able to treat it suc
cessfully,” Edelson states. “So far
this year I’ve lost only one of my 25
cases.”
Believed to be spread by insects,
Potomac Fever gets its name from
Maryland’s Potomac Valley where
it was first recognized. Though Dr.
Edelson says that the disease
surfaces quite predictably during
the first week of July, he admits
that precious little information is
available concerning the fever’s
origin and prevention. No vaccines
are available at this time.
Through studies conducted at the
University of Pennsylvania, it is
known that the disease’s in
cubation period is 15 to 17 days.
That is, horses injected with the
blood from other horses known to
be infected began showing symp
toms about two-and-a-half weeks
after being injected.
Because insects are the
suspected carriers, Edelson
surmises that meticulous insect
control may be helpful in
preventing the disease.
Research on Potomac Fever is
currently being conducted at the.
University of Pennsylvania, the
Center for Animal Disease Control
in Ames, lowa, and the Virginia
Institute of Technology.
