Cases of Potomac horse fever have recently popped up throughout the state, including this region.
Four horses have now tested positive in Sullivan, Hawkins and Robertson counties, according to Tennesseeâs state veterinarian. A case was also identified in Wilson County earlier this month.
At Mountain Empire Large Animal Hospital in Boones Creek, Dr. Paul Riedel told the Times News he has treated two horses with Potomac horse fever so far this year.
âItâs pretty normal to see two cases here,â Riedel said. âThere are certain areas that have more of it in general. The areas that Potomac Horse Fever has been seen has been growing, but itâs something that has been seen since the 1980s. This area has grown since then.â
