PRESS RELEASE: Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals Identifies Rescue Horse Infected with Streptococcus Equine
WINDHAM, ME, 12/31/2019 – The Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals (MSSPA), New England’s premier equine rescue and rehabilitation center confirms that a horse recently received into care at the shelter, following its standard 28-day quarantine, has a confirmed positive case of streptococcus equine, commonly known as “strangles.” Staff and carefully trained volunteers will continue to care for all the horses during the treatment of the one horse who has tested positive to date. In addition, MSSPA has implemented enhanced biosecurity measures to prevent transmission of the bacteria from horses who are ill or may have been exposed to the bacteria to horses who have not.
For more information read the full press release here.
Thank you for saving lives with MSSPA since 1872.
