I understand... and your medical background probably gives you a wider comfort zone in talking about this stuff... Mine was just a general protest ;~D
I think the trouble with your recent situation was you had conflicting vets, and poor communication from either of them, right? Weren't the owner's vet and your vet at odds on whether they even had strangles? I think in any case, it doesn't sound like it was handled as well as it could have been at that barn. I think they were slow to correctly identify and take steps to control the spread.
Blake and I are back from our ride. We rode about 2 hours, then got hungry:) I'm loading pictures, they will be up shortly.
It's so fun riding with a little person. We talked about flowers, bugs, snakes...

Ok. One more post and I'll try to shut up:') Yeah,. too much vet confusion this year. Funny thing is that the vet that didn't do lab and got a different diagnosis was the one that ordered the medicine that worked though. I think I'm just gonna give what I have and then I'll find a vet "up north" and let him decide if he wants anything else. I just need to cordinate the RX stuff with visits to keep my cost down. When they are due again I'll wait until time to float them.
