December 17, 2019 - The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reports that a five-year-old mare from Wexford County has been confirmed to have strangles. The mare developed a fever and neurologic signs starting on November 6, 2019. An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the brain discovered multiple brain abscesses. The mare was euthanized on December 5, 2019, and necropsied. The brain abscesses were determined to be caused by the bacteria responsible for strangles.
