Having seen another case of flystrike this weekend on call, I wanted to alert you to stay vigilent/on top of your ectoparasiticides in the wet and warm weather, despite it being the end of October! It prompted me to re-apply this weekend...

Flystrike occurs when blowflies lay eggs in open wounds or soiled fleece. Affected sheep are often isolated from the rest of the flock and may kick or bite at the affected area. If not found and treated quickly, flystrike can lead to toxaemia and death.


Prevention of flystrike involves:

Dagging the fleece around the tail to reduce soiling

Treat any wounds (including the feet) promptly

Use of pour ons e.g. Clik to prevent fly larvae from developing

Senior horse checks

As we go into winter, it's a good idea to give our senior horses a thorough examination before the cold weather sets in. Cushing’s and dental disease can make the already hard challenge of keeping condition on our seniors impossible, so diagnosing and controlling these conditions is imperative for continued health and welfare.

The Care about Cushing’s scheme is currently open for funded ACTH testing and will remain open until the 31st October 2026. Any horse over 10 years old suspected of having Cushing’s who has not been tested under the scheme in the preceding 12 months is eligible for free lab testing. For any horses and ponies who have had an ‘Equivocal’ result during the year, testing for Cushing’s at this time of year is more likely to identify disease if it is present.

This year, we’re putting on a couple of senior horse check deals running from now until the 31st October 2026 detailed in the poster attached.

Shamonda Virus detected in Jersey

It must have been a good year for midges this year with Bluetongue rife and an emerging virus, known as Shamonda virus, making an appearance in Jersey.

Shamonda virus is spread by biting midges and primarily affects cattle but has been detected in sheep, goats, alpacas and horses in other European countries.

The full spectrum of clinical signs is yet to be defined but fever, diarrhoea, lethargy and milk drop and known features of infection. There are concerns that abortion and congenital deformities, like those seen in Schmallenberg virus could occur if cattle are infected during pregnancy, though this is yet to be determined. Shamonda Virus is not a notifiable disease, but it is recommended that reports of suspicion are investigated via blood sampling.

This is an emerging situation, and we will keep you updated as we learn more about it.
