Re: [RC] Strangles in SE region - Elizabeth Walker

Nasty. So, do they wait until when everybody seems to have recovered, give them all a full course of antibiotics to be sure you have cured the shedders? Or do they start antibiotic treatments for all the horses when the first one comes down sick?

You can't - that's the problem, and one of the reasons this disease can keep popping up. Some of the big barns give all the horses antibiotics if any of the horses get sick, just to prevent this.

So .. if they can't be diagnosed with swabs, how do you determine whether a horse is a carrier or not?

These carrier horses can't be diagnosed with swabs either, the only way to 'cure' them is with antibiotics.
