DISCOUNTED second Hendra Vaccinations!!

The recent Hendra case in QLD is a reminder of the risk of this deadly disease to both our horses and ourselves. This disease is transmitted from bats to horses and can then be transmitted from sick horses to people and even dogs.
So should we be vaccinating our horses?
These are some points that should be considered when making that decison.

🐎 While the chance of your horse contracting this disease is rare, it is not impossible. Hendra virus has been detected in bats around the Hawkesbury.

🐎 This is not a QLD disease- We have had two cases in Newcastle and one in the Hunter Valley.

🐎 The initial signs can look like many other common diseases, such as colic which increases the risk of exposure to this disease whilst caring for your horse.

🐎 Vaccinated horses- are protected from the disease and this enables vets to rapidly treat or refer your horse if it has any other illness.

🐎 Unvaccinated sick horses may require Hendra exclusion testing before vets can effectively treat or refer them for necessary treatment. This is a requirement and not an option. Results in this area can take 48 hours or more to come back and some horses cannot survive the wait. Given the vague initial presenting signs of hendra this situation is more common the you think and is extremely stressful for all parties- vets, owners and the horses. Making this the aspect that people should consider the most.

For the next 4 weeks we are running a special on the second Hendra vaccinations for clients wanting to get started– give me a call to book in or to ask more questions. 😊

Jumping on the 3D printed squish pad band wagon this week for this TB gelding recovering from white line disease. First time gluing these on but pretty happy with the result and the patient is also enjoying them 💞

Initially I used ultimate boots. Now we have wall to glue to i was keen to try this as he still reqiures sole protection.

Edit: bonus points if you can tell me which diagnostic test would give me even more information.

Heading to the Southern Highlands to help another vet with this case of Laminitis.

Can anyone identify which aspect of this radiograph is the most cause for concern????
