STRANGLES ADVICERecently in the Welland Valley area there have been a number of strangles outbreaks. Strangles is a contagious bacterial infection that typically affects a horse’s upper respiratory tract. Although less common, abscesses can develop elsewhere in the body. The disease is contagious and often infects a high proportion of individuals in a group. Most get over the disease with only rare cases resulting in death. One of the biggest associated problems is the restriction of movements of horses and ponies from the site of an outbreak to limit the spread of infection elsewhere. This can seriously disrupt competition and racing schedules.

The first clinical signs that usually develop are difficulty or unwillingness to eat and a dull demeanour. There is also usually a fever (temperature > 38.4 degrees celcius). Most cases also develop a thick nasal discharge and often go on to develop swollen lymph nodes under the chin and on the side of the head. The swollen lymph nodes or “glands” often burst open discharging pus onto the skin surface. Pus and nasal discharges are the most infectious materials and transfer of the bacteria in discharges via horse to horse contact, via buckets etc and via people’s hands and clothing are all likely if precautions are not taken.

When a case is suspected, it should be isolated from other horses with no direct contact or indirect contact (buckets, hand etc). A vet should be called to examine the horse, to advise on reducing the spread of the disease within the yard, and to take the appropriate samples to confirm the diagnosis. There is continued debate in the veterinary world over the use of antibiotics to treat strangles. Most horses will get better without them but some very sick individuals can benefit from them.

Once the infection has gone through the yard and the last clinical signs have resolved, laboratory testing is required to confirm that the infection has definitely gone. This is because some horses become “shedders” which means they continue to spread the bacteria despite showing no outward signs themselves. The laboratory testing usually involves one or a combination of guttural pouch washes taken through an endoscope, blood tests and swabs from deep within the nasal cavity. Once the yard is confirmed to be clear of infection movement to and from the yard can resume.

Prevention by testing new horses moving onto a new yard and isolation on the new yard for a few weeks is ideal. In addition a vaccine is currently available against strangles. If you have any questions please contact the equine team at Town and Country Veterinary Centre.

As the warm weather approaches, dogs can be at an increased risk of picking up troublesome and unsightly ticks on their daily walks, particularly in grassland, woodland or any deer or sheep grazing areas. Ticks also have the potential to spread disease.
