Pigeon Fever

Did you know that pigeon fever is at epidemic levels in California and has spread to Arizona? It can be deadly for horses. Take it seriously and treat your pastures to clean them up. Keep all utensil's, buckets, boots, pitchforks and all barn equipment sanitary. Lots of Clorox. You can treat the horses with herbs and antibiotics an they can make a full recovery. The help of a good veterinarian is essential.
