Dr. Kathleen MacMillan, AVC Equine Ambulatory Service, will give a community workshop on Wednesday, July 11, about strangles, a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the upper respiratory system of the horse. The presentation will take place in AVC’s Lecture Theatre A at 7:00 pm.

She will talk about the symptoms of strangles, diagnosis and treatment, and ways to reduce the risk of infection.
