Oh dear!  I am in North Georgia.  My guys are OK but I will keep a close eye 
on them.

How strange!  I will check with some of my horsey neighbors, veterinarian 
and my farrier and see if they have run across this.  I am in Banks County.

Which vet did you call?  I use Dr. Wonders with Cornelia Vet Hospital. 
(nothing like a vet named Dr. Wonders).  He is terrific!
