Botulism~

It seems there's a Botulism outbreak in our area. Carol from the tack store sent me an email saying that there's been some horses that have died from this. From what the Merck Manual states, it's a horrible way for any animal to go.

Merck Vet Manual - Botulism

As I recall, awhile ago, there was a hay supply that was suspected. We had had an outbreak of botulism cases here locally, when exactly I don't recall. I need to check into this further to see if there's a pattern from where the suspected source is. Sigh..... if it's not one thing it's another! Everyone be careful and check it!
