What is "strangles"?
Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection that mainly affects horses, causing swelling and the formation of fluid-filled lumps in the glands of the head and neck. It is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi. Infected horses may show symptoms such as fever, nasal discharge, difficulty swallowing, and swollen glands. The infection is spread through direct contact with nasal discharge or fluid from draining lumps, as well as through contaminated equipment or surfaces. Treatment typically involves supportive care, such as draining the fluid-filled lumps and giving antibiotics. Preventative measures include vaccination and strict quarantine protocols to prevent the spread of the disease.
