I thought I ought to share this information for all the UK noters in
this conference:
There has been an outbreak of "atypical" strangles at the livery yard
at Hall Place Stables, Reading. "Atypical" being the strangles virus
but not necessarily showing itself with all of the classic symptoms.
As far as I know, three horses have gone down with it, some with the
swollen lymph nodes and runny nose, others with just one or the other.
I had a word with the vet last night and he confirmed it was strangles.
Please keep this note updated if you know of any other outbreaks.

Sounds like the same outbreak that we had up at our stables in May - July time at the stables I used to board my horse at in Madiens, Ayrshire, Scotland. Unfortunately Shannon came down the worse with all the symptoms taking about ten weeks in all to fully recover. It was brought into the jard by three new young horse from ireland. Althought there was word of quite a bit of it about in this area that seems to have died down over the last couple of months. Fingers crossed xxx Michelle | |||||
