We would like to alert horse owners that we have a confirmed case of West Nile Virus in a horse in Sweet Grass County.

Below is some information about the virus and signs to look for in your horse. Vaccination is the key in helping prevent this disease in horses.

🌿🐴 West Nile Virus: A Serious Threat to Horses — But Preventable! 🐴🌿

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne disease that affects the brain and spinal cord of horses. It can lead to neurological signs and, in some cases, death. Unvaccinated horses are especially at risk during late summer and fall.

⚠️ Watch for these clinical signs:

Incoordination (stumbling or staggering)

Muscle twitching (especially around the face or muzzle)

Weakness or partial paralysis

Fever

Difficulty standing or lying down

Behavior changes, depression, or hypersensitivity to touch

Seizures or recumbency in severe cases

📉 About 33% of horses that develop neurologic signs from WNV do not survive. Even survivors may have lingering deficits.

💉 The good news? It’s preventable. The WNV vaccine is highly effective and part of the AAEP core vaccine recommendations for all horses in North America. Most horses need an annual booster, ideally before peak mosquito season.

🐎 Protect your horse with:
✔️ Timely vaccination
✔️ Mosquito control around barns and paddocks
✔️ Monitoring for any unusual behavior or movement

📞 Call us today to schedule your horse’s WNV vaccination and learn more about how to keep them safe this season!

Important Update for Pet Owners in Sweet Grass County.

A recent case of rabies has been confirmed in our county in a bat, highlighting the critical need to vaccinate your pets against this deadly virus. This bat was found in a living space of a house, so it is important to also vaccinate animals that are strictly indoors.

Why Vaccinate?

Protect Your Pets: Rabies is a fatal disease that affects the central nervous system. Vaccinating your pets ensures they are protected if they come into contact with a rabid animal (1).

Protect Your Family: Rabies can be transmitted to humans through bites or scratches. Keeping your pets vaccinated helps safeguard your family and community (2)
Legal Requirement: In many areas, rabies vaccination is required by law. Staying up-to-date with vaccinations helps you comply with local regulations (3).

What You Can Do:

Check Vaccination Records: Ensure your pets are current on their rabies vaccinations.

Visit Your Vet: Schedule an appointment if your pet needs a booster shot.

Stay Informed: Follow local health department updates for any new cases.
Let’s work together to keep our pets and community safe!

Please call us at 406-932-4324 if you have any questions or concerns.
