Strangles

Washtenaw County, MI

Alert ID: 926

June 15, 2018

Source: Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has confirmed strangles in two horses from Washtenaw County. The horses are from separate premises and there is no known link between the two cases at this time. One of the cases is a three-month-old paint colt that developed nasal discharge and swollen submandibular glands. The other case is a 29-year-old American Saddlebred stallion. The status of the horses is unknown and no quarantines were placed by the Department. This brings the total number of strangles cases confirmed in Michigan in 2018 to five.
