PSA- we have be told about one positive case of equine strangles and influenza diagnosed and confirmed at another clinic. This horse was at Hitchcock race on 12/14 and shepherd race 12/21 before showing any symptoms it was immediately seen by a vet and quarantined. Results on this horse just came back.
We have had a few clients call with coughing horses, +/- fever and off feed that attended these races and had also attended the race at magnolia last friday 12/27, before showing any symptoms.
At this time we recommend anyone that had been at ANY of these races to quarantine their barns and not go anywhere until they are foresure their horses have not contracted either of these.
We are unsure of when and where this started and who all came in contact- so no matter if AM or PM please monitor and stay home to quarantine!
Symptoms can take up to 2 weeks to start showing.
No horses on or off your property for the meantime as well.
This will help keep this potential outbreak at bay.
This is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to message us.
Horses that are vaccinated properly can still be at risk.
