🚨 HORSE OWNERS, TAKE NOTE!
📌 What NOT To Do If You Suspect African Horse Sickness (AHS)
| |

🐴 African Horse Sickness (AHS) is a deadly and fast-spreading disease that affects horses, donkeys, and mules — and early action is CRUCIAL to contain outbreaks. But just as important as what you should do… is what you must NOT do.

🔴 Here’s What NOT to Do:

1. ❌ DO NOT Move the Horse
🚫 Don’t transport your horse to a new location. AHS is vector-borne and contagious — moving the horse can accelerate the spread.
🛑 Keep the animal stable and isolated immediately.

2. ❌ DO NOT Self-Medicate or Delay Veterinary Care
This isn’t the time for herbal teas or DIY drips. AHS is a notifiable disease under the Animal Health Act in Namibia.
📞 Call a qualified vet immediately - it could save other horses too.

3. ❌ DO NOT Hide the Case
Trying to avoid quarantine or inspections could make things worse.

4. ❌ DO NOT Disregard Insect Control
AHS is spread by Culicoides midges. Don’t ignore insect-proofing.
✅ Do: Use insect repellents, stabling at dusk/dawn, fans, and mosquito netting.

5. ❌ DO NOT Assume It’s Something Else
“Oh, it’s just a cold…”
AHS symptoms may resemble other equine illnesses — but never assume.
⚠️ Watch for signs like: high fever, swollen eyes, difficulty breathing, nosebleeds, and sudden death.

💡 Remember:
If your horse is unwell, don’t panic — but DO act responsibly.
AHS is a notifiable disease in Namibia, meaning it must be reported immediately to a vet or the Directorate of Veterinary Services.

📍Report cases to your nearest State Vet Office.

Be vigilant. Be informed. Be responsible.

🌞🐾 December Pet Care Tips for Namibia 🐾🌞

As we dive into the festive season, don’t forget to keep your furry friends safe and happy! Here are some key tips:

🐕 Beat the Heat:
Keep pets cool with plenty of shade and fresh water. Avoid walking them during peak heat hours to prevent heatstroke and paw burns.

⛈️ Storm Safety:
Thunderstorms can be scary! Create a cozy, quiet space to keep them calm and safe.

🎇 Fireworks Anxiety:
Fireworks are fun for us but not for pets! Keep them indoors, play calming music, and ensure they’re microchipped in case they panic.

🎄 Holiday Hazards:
Protect your pets from harmful foods (no chocolate or bones!) and secure decorations to avoid accidents.

🦟 Parasite Prevention:
Ticks and fleas are active—don’t forget their prevention treatments.

🐍 Stay Alert Outdoors:
Watch out for wildlife and snakes when exploring nature.

Let’s make this a season of joy for everyone, including our pets! 🐾💛
