Strangles is not usually fatal, but is contagious, and is causing some concern among horse owners. Foals and young horses are mainly affected. and during the disease they lose much of their condition. The disease is an inflammation of the glands near the throat, nearly always causing an abscess. It usually occurs in the spring or early summer, and a season seldom passes without a few cases being noticed in most districts, but it may occur at any time of the year.
