forgive me because I am not really familiar with this virus, and the article leaves out some details that would be helpful to know...but I'm confused
when an animal recovers is it still considered an active carrier?
if so, why was the horse allowed to recover in the first place? why didn't they just put him down as soon as the diagnosis was made?
Quite frankly, if he is no longer contagious I see no reason to euthanize....however if the virus is something like EIA, that can't be "cured" then he's got to go...sucks, but it's a question of greater good. I've known perfectly healthy horse that flunk a Coggin's test and have had to be put down.
