Can it be caught through a contaminated corrals

I've had several Vets tell me that unless there's a dire situation with the overall health of a horse, they don't give antibiotics. It can strengthen the bacteria and lead to Bastard Strangles. It's better to let a horse come out of it on their own that way it strengthens their natural immunity to it later on

The 5 signs that you list can also be a cold.
You provide no pictures of the swollen glands/abscess, you know when they swell up to the size of large golf ball which would be helpful. Or what it looks like when it blows up. Or what the nasal discharge looks like, that would be helpful.

@@BenefabProducts the reason I commented on the video, is a horse at the stable that I board at, was diagnosed by a Vet, as to having strangles, which it did not. Put the entire stable into a panic, because no one had ever seen strangles and relied on a young Veterinarian to know what they where doing.
Because of a bad diagnosis the owner had to pay an outrageous bill, for unwarranted tests, for something that was just a bad cold.
Having grown up and worked around horses before there was any vacine. Knew a couple days after the original diagnosis that it never was strangles, if you provided a complete way of what to really look for, it would helpful to the greenhorns.
