Strangles ?

[mrussell]

Has anyone heard about an outbreak in the Clare area ?

Not sure where Clare is, but I had a very cross horse dentist who was due to visit me after attending a yard near Diss - as he left an owner stopped him and told him of a case of strangles on the yard. Naturally he was furious as he could have unwittingly spread a highly infectious disease around several Norfolk yards. He had to cancel all his appointments that day and go home and clean up.

Monikir - fortunately, Diss is nowhere near Clare! Clare is South Suffolk/North Essex.
