(PDF/493.88 KB) (PDF/109.21 KB) As anaphylactic shock sets in, the bronchial airways constrict and blood pools in the lungs, resulting in extreme respiratory distress.
Differentiation between immune responses to primary and repeated exposure of subclinically infected animals and responses induced by vaccination is also addressed.Pyrexia with lethargy become typically the first signs occurring 3–14 days after exposure and before most horses are contagious. (PDF/189.29 KB) ACVIM, says, “For intramuscular vaccines, the most typical reaction is local soreness. Acetylcysteine has a denaturing and solubilizing activity by disrupting disulfide bonds in mucoprotein molecules, thus reducing mucus viscosity and so theoretically facilitating natural drainage.
Vaccination, involving an initial and then yearly boosters, will assist in the control of strangles.

(PDF/38.55 KB) Abscesses cause sudden, severe pain and lameness.
Use of a memory‐helical polyp retrieval basket through the biopsy channel of the endoscope does allow non‐surgical removal of chondroids, even when present in very large numbers and in conjunction with empyema. In very rare cases, an abscess and discharge may develop at the injection site, and the lymph nodes in the head may enlarge, which may be painful for a short while. Questions pertaining to travel history, management practices, and vaccine history are important. (PDF/851.13 KB) Hot, tender swellings develop in lymph glands, usually around the head, jaw and neck, as a result of abscess formation. (PDF/671.26 KB) (PDF/594.42 KB) (PDF/189.29 KB) (PDF/767.39 KB)
For a local reaction, Wilson recommends ice and exercise to help disseminate the ache. Also of importance are outwardly healthy convalescent cases that continue to harbor the organism after full clinical recovery.In most cases, outbreak isolates are highly clonal, consistent with an introduction and onward transmission from a single source.Although bloodwork can be variable, a leukocytosis characterized by a neutrophilia found on a complete blood count as well as a hyperfibrinogenemia can be suggestive of infection with Sensitivity and specificity of testing depends on the stage of infection, the anatomical location from which the sample is taken, the sampling technique, and the testing used.Nasopharyngeal washes had increased sensitivity compared to nasal swabsNasopharyngeal sampling involves slowly instilling about 50 mL of warm normal saline either via a 15 cm length of soft latex tubing (5–6 mm diameter) or uterine pipette inserted to the level of the nasal canthus and collecting the washings into a disposable cup or rectal sleeve.Specimens should be plated on Columbia CNA (colistin, nalidixic acid) agar with 5% sheep or horse blood added.

Titers of SeM‐specific antibody may exceed 1:6,400.
Many intramuscular vaccine labels specifically suggest exercise directly after administration to minimize reactions.“Topical preparations that have anti-inflammatory properties and components, such as arnica or diclofenac, may be useful, too, but the owner should discuss this with their veterinarian first,” says Wilson.Local reactions typically improve over 48 hours. “Similarly, for the horse that is boarded out, the group risk thinking is very important as the other horses may bring something back from a show or park, without the owner’s horses ever having ventured off the property.” This typically happens with respiratory diseases such as strangles or influenza.Wilson cautions strongly against horse owners administering vaccines without their veterinarian’s consent and input into diseases posing a risk for their horse.“Self-vaccinators should not take the decision to do their own horses lightly,” Wilson says.
