📢 Primer pogina uvoženega psa zaradi stekline, s ponarejenimi podatki o cepljenju proti steklini.
Na žalost se tudi v naši praksi vse pogosteje srečujemo s podobnimi primeri, z uvozom psov iz neurejenih razmer ter z nepopolno ali celo ponarejeno dokumentacijo. Takšni primeri predstavljajo resno tveganje ne le za zdravje živali, temveč tudi za javno zdravje! Zato se v primeru uvoza psa iz tretjih držav predhodno dobro informirajte o veljavnih pravilih uvoza, o minimalni starosti živali, obveznem cepljenju proti steklini, morebitni titraciji protiteles in ustrezni dokumentaciji. Vsa ta pravila so sprejeta z razlogom.
Steklina je smrtonosna bolezen tako za živali kot za ljudi, ki je v Sloveniji zaradi dolgoletnega, doslednega cepljenja zaenkrat pod nadzorom.
Hkrati po drugi strani opažamo tudi porast vprašanj in celo pritožb, zakaj je cepljenje proti steklini sploh še potrebno. Prav takšni primeri jasno kažejo, da nevarnost ni izginila. Dokler obstaja tveganje vnosa bolezni iz drugih držav, ostaja cepljenje eden najpomembnejših zaščitnih ukrepov.
Prosimo vse skrbnike, da ob nakupu ali posvojitvi živali preverijo izvor, dokumentacijo in zakonitost uvoza. S tem ne zaščitimo le svoje živali, ampak tudi širšo skupnost.
Hvala, ker ravnate odgovorno. 🐾
Rabies Found in Imported Dog in Germany
Authorities in Germany have confirmed a rabies case in a dog from Hochdorf-Assenheim, near Mannheim. The dog, which died on 25 January, had been brought from a non-EU country and was reportedly microchipped and vaccinated.
Tests showed the vaccination was effective, but a post-mortem revealed the dog was younger than stated at the time of import, meaning EU requirements were not met and the import was illegal.
“Let this case be a wake-up call to all Member States to implement and enforce the upcoming EU Regulation on the welfare and traceability of dogs and cats,” said Ann Criel, FECAVA President and UEVP Board Member. “The cross-border trade of under-aged dogs with forged paperwork and doubtful vaccination status is a high risk for pets – and humans. Proper microchipping, registration, and checks of breeding facilities are key to stopping these illegal practices.”
