Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching hospital has reopened its doors to all horse patients. However, bio-security precautions are still being made to insure the safety of the facility.

Several weeks ago, horses in Colorado became infected with Equine Herpes Virus. But, in the last 10 days, there has been no change in number of horses infected with the disease, which is why the hospital decided to reopen.

CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital and equine surgeon, Dr. Dean Hendrickson, states:” "Our goal is to try and limit the possibility of congregating animals that are infected with the herpes virus, so we're working very hard to limit the number people that come in and move their animals around”.

Symptoms of the equine disease include: decreased coordination, fever, nasal discharge and urine dribbling.

What Hendrickson is hoping to achieve is to let everyone know that they don’t have any more infected horses in their main barn.

Any horse that is considered to have the disease will be treated in a separate facility. The equine disease is contagious to horses and camelids, but it cannot spread to humans or other animals.
