I don't know. The owner and I are disagreeing. She doesn't think what I thought was going to kill Sarah Lee and Okie last year was strangles because they didn't rupture. Classic signs though and a culture from another horse came back positive. She's sure this is strangles though because they are rupturing. The horses aren't sick though.

I think I would insist a vet come out and culture it, and prescribe treatment. Strangles doesn't necessarily rupture. And it is very contagious.
