Things you need to know about Strangles

I did some research and found out quite a bit about the disease not to mention the info I picked up from my veterinarian. Strangles is actually caused by the disease Streptococcus equi which is similar to the bacteria that causes strep throat in humans. The bacteria actually enters the horse through the nasal passages and then spreads to the lymph nodes under the jaw and around the pharynx. These lymph nodes will attempt to fight off the bacteria possibly causing an abcess to form.
