A great chance for the public to learn and ask questions about Louping Ill.
This is a tick borne virus that is sadly becoming more and more common.
Currently there is no cure.
If your dogs tests positive it needs to be put to sleep.
It is brutal!
However, Moredun Institute is in the process of developing a vaccine, but they need as much funding as possible.

💥 Due to the high number of questions we’ve received about the recent video of the dog with louping ill, we will be hosting a Q&A session with Beth Wells.
🕷️Beth is the ‘Knowledge Exchange Specialist and Principal Research Scientist at the Moredun Institute’ where the vaccine is being developed.
❗️ This is an opportunity for the public’s concerns to be answered directly by a leading expert.
