Attention

All out of state clients please read the following carefully

For out-of-state clients bringing equine to Mobile Veterinary Practice for routine veterinary care, you can be exempt from a CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection) when accompanied by a prior entry permit issued by the Commission, as seen in Rule 51.3(b)(1) - Equine may enter Texas when consigned directly to a veterinary hospital or clinic for treatment or for usual veterinary procedures when accompanied by a permit number issued by the commission. Following release by the veterinarian, equine must be returned immediately to the state of origin by the most direct route.

Clients can call the Texas Animal Health Commission's permitting office at 512-719-0777 at any time to obtain an entry permit number. If you call during business hours, you will speak to TAHC staff, provide the requested information (origin information and contact, destination information, horse information, and appointment information), and will be provided a permit number over the phone. If you call after-hours, you will follow the prompt of the voicemail, obtain the permit number, and leave a voicemail with the information requested in the recording.

If you have questions about the definition of "usual veterinary procedures," please contact the TAHC permitting office, as the permit is not to be used to circumvent the standard entry requirements for horses, but to be used for veterinary procedures only, and then to return to their out-of-state home.

These permits allow our staff to treat your horses without a health certificate if they return directly home after leaving our practice. As we learned with the EHV outbreak in November, horses can have exposure to a pathogen and pass it on quickly to others who likewise expose more populations. The TAHC is doing their job to keep your horse and our industry safe, please call me if you have any questions.

Based on the poor weather outlook for this Friday, we unfortunately are going to postpone our open house. We are planning to reschedule, but the date is TBD. We hope everyone stays home and safe once the snow starts!

The short answer to protecting your horse in the current EHM outbreak: ZERO exposure to outside horses. That’s still the only 100% effective protection.
Key facts:
• There is NO vaccine that fully prevents the neurologic form of EHV-1 (EHM).
• Regular rhino/flu vaccines help reduce shedding and severity of the respiratory strains, but they do not stop this neurologic mutant.
• Pneumabort-K is still a great tool, especially if herpes is your only worry (and very useful in pregnant mares).

Treatment = supportive care only. No magic antiviral bullet exists for EHM once it’s in the brain/spinal cord. Outcome depends on the individual horse’s immune response.

Husbandry is everything right now:
• Avoid ALL off-property contact if possible
• If you must be around other horses → minimize time & maximize space
• Take temperatures twice daily – anything over 101.5°F = call your vet immediately and isolate

I’ve been blown away by my clients who have voluntarily spoken up about possible exposures from:
• Levelland barrel race
• Vernon College
• Ride-shares with horses that tied to the WPRA Finals

THIS is how we stop it – by being brutally honest and responsible. This is stewardship.
We all remember the Ogden, Utah outbreak in 2011 that shut the entire western U.S. down for a summer. We’ve learned a ton since then, but the virus hasn’t. It still only takes one sniff at a trailer or one shared water bucket.

So let’s do this together: Keep your horses home, keep your thermometers busy, and keep talking openly if you think you might have been exposed.
