Well, I sure hope they both can pull through this easily, it really isn't a particularly dangerous disease for adult horses when treated but it's bad enough and will keep them down for awhile. That website said it can take 3 months before the horses should work again. At this point, you can't even move them, it'd be irresponsible for another stable to take them sick or apparently even recently sick. The whole barn needs to aggressively treat this for it to not keep recurring. I hope they are.
I was reading the webb site. If the first vet had diagnosed it and I knew there was a vaccine I would have immz Sarah Lee. This vet says well maybe Okie had something different. Maybe. I don't think so though. Well, I go from here. This weekend I'm moving out of the tack room and disenfecting my stuff and storing elsewhere. Blows the trail ride I wanted to go to out of the water:'(
When they say work they don't mean casual riding do they? We have been riding Okie at a walk and very slow lunging just to start getting him conditioned again. Not long or intense though.
