Stressed. High strangles blood test

[jkitten]

Hooray brilliant news, congratulations!

Good news. I knew it would be ok.

Now if there's a strangles break out in your area , your horse has immunity for a few years to come so you won't need to panic.

All clear

Excellent

Relieved for you and another who rolls their eyes over the obsession with blood tests.

Especially when ten horses on that yard that insists on testing will probably be taken out somewhere in the next month and brought back home without a test or quarantine.

I was on a yard that used these useless blood tests. A new horse came in , had the test , apparently was low , but was in fact a carrier. So we had a bit of an outbreak.
Because the blood test doesn't pick up carrier- yet this yard still wants a blood test for new arrivals. Even the vets can't convince her otherwise!
