A 25-year old miniature horse from Greenwich is recovering after testing positive for the West Nile virus. The state Department of Agriculture recently announced that the Greenwich horse and an 18-year-old horse from Glastonbury were the first domestic animal cases of West Nile virus infection this year. While the Greenwich horse was treated and recovering, the Glastonbury horse’s condition continued to deteriorate and it was humanely euthanized by the veterinarian. In late August, the Greenwich horse had an abnormal gait and the Glastonbury horse was observed by its owner as lethargic and not eating. Diagnostic samples were collected and submitted by the veterinarian were found positive for West Nile infection.
