In this episode Liz Somerville and Jenny Croft MRCVS chat about how strangles is spread, the signs and symptoms to look out for, what to do if there is an outbreak on your yard and how to minimise the risk of your horse contracting strangles.
Strangles is highly infectious and needs to be managed extremely carefully to make sure that we limit the spread and get the all clear for the yard as quickly as possible.
