Horse Flu

Recommended Posts

I posted this in the rotty forum but added it here for everyone to see.

Just read an interesting article and thought I should share......and With the recent outbreak of horse flu in NSW and QLD thought it a 'food for thought'.

its been confirmed in the USA that dogs have caught the equine influenza from eating infected horse meat.

So everyone please check what is in your dog food, incl. kibble, if you don't make your own food.....

Also since the virus can be transmitted by people on their clothing from horse to horse....I would also consider horse - human clothing - dog as a transmission pathway!!! I don't know if it can, but I wouldn't take the chance.
