Gah. giving perventative antibiotics is how bacteria get resistant! Unless that's a common course for treating strangles. Anyone know? I've never delt with a case.

I think giving antibiotics incompletely is what makes bacteria resistant. Preventative antibiotics to fight a known bacterial exposure is completely sensible, but you have to give the medicine until the death of the bacteria, not shoot to wound it.

Well, I was thinking he got mixed up but no he said he was concerned Okie not completely well yet and could relapse. He only got one shot. Sarah Lee gets two more tomorrow. It was hot today. She was under a tree when I got there. Her temp 103.6 so I cooled her down. Her temp didn't drop much but she perked up and was walking around when I left her. She has a heavy tail bone though. Okies was really light to push away. Not her's. She kept farting too:')
