The correct answer is Strangles, which is a disease that affects the lymph nodes in the respiratory tract.
Exertional Rhabdomyolysis is the medical term for the syndrome of exercise-related muscle damage. It adequately defines the condition as one of skeletal muscle and cell break down. Other terms used are Monday Morning Disease; Black Water-because many affected horses will have dark urine; Azoturia-describes the excess of nitrogen-containing compunds, such as urea, in the urine of effected horses. Myositis-a general term that implies that the primary disease process is inflammation, which is not the case. Tying-up-probably the most appropriate term as it describes the short, stiff stride and tight muscles seen in affected horses.
