As title really. Could do with some positive vibes and stories from people that have gone through the same. We have had a strangles outbreak on the yard after a sick horse was brought in from Ireland. Originally it was contained to one barn and nothing was allowed o move. My horse has now developed it. Unsure how she has caught it, she hasn't been in contact with anything sick and we have been very careful with quarantine procedures but we think there is a carrier mare that she may have caught it from. Either way she has it. She has a high temp and her gutteral pouches are filling. Prescribed bute by the vet and for now is out. Shes quieter than het normal self but generally seems fairly happy. Eating ok. If I could have some positive vibes and experiences I'd appreciate it a lot! She is a three year old mare who wad in good health prior to this so hopefully not hugely at risk.
We have made people in the area aware that we have it on the yard
