Now here is an interesting thought. I read that  page on Strangles--Which  I 
don't think it is --not in right place, no discharge, no fever,etc. No 
contact--closed system.Vet hasn't been here since last Sept. Only farrier, 
and  he took shoes off indrive ,not near barn or pasture and he doesn't 
handle the horses, I do...I wear different shoes to barn and ride than 
street shoes....
 Anyway, the report mentioned Canine cough--Kennel cough----hhmmm---simiiar 
respiratory problem it said causedby steph
My dogs had kennel cough the last  couple of months, one even twice... and 
have no idea where they got it, as they have radio collars that are attached 
to our fence, so they can't get facial contact with strays or neightbors 
dogs..... but one dog we rescued had a pin in his leg and he went to vet to 
have final removal. The kennel cough showed up in another dog  within a week 
, then  4 of the 5 dogs got it. I wonder isf there could be a 
connection....interspecies.....?But my dogs don't have facial contact with 
the horses....I'd be the carrier...or the beetpulp bucket the dogs 
lick....fat chance , but makes me wonder...
   And I just had the flu.....Maybe a connection with one of the above or 
none....or just something with the dampness we always have, mud , standing 
water, .....
