Solution
The statement that is not true about the treatment of strangles is: "Clinical relapse is uncommon when using penicillin as treatment." While penicillin is often used in the treatment of strangles, it is not uncommon for horses to experience a clinical relapse after treatment. This is because the bacteria that causes strangles, Streptococcus equi, can survive in the lymph nodes and re-infect the horse after the course of antibiotics is finished. Therefore, it is important to monitor horses closely after treatment and to take steps to prevent re-infection.
