The one-in-ten mortality rate seems kinda high. At my old job I treated around 80 horses, and never had one die. Though the first time I scrubbed down that burst abscess I was pretty sure I was going to die from gagging. StSkunko 04:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't like that "shipping fever" sends me to an article on strangles. I was directed here from an article on cattle and I expected to read about shipping fever in cattle, not strangles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.81.85.232 (talk) 21:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree. Shipping fever should not redirect to Strangles. I've switched the link on the redirect page to Pneumonia (non-human) for now. Shipping fever probably deserves its own page though. Getwood (talk) 01:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
