If someone could explain about how tetracycline releases tendons, I'd 
appreciate it.  I can't understand the connection.

Katie - how old was the foal when given the injection?  I, too, would 
be very interested in reading why such an injection might cause the 
reaction in that foal.  Could it be connected to kill off of 
intestinal bacteria from the tetracycline, essentially causing the 
foal to have starved overnight, unable to absorb any nutrition/
