Leish? In Herts

[Cinnamontoast]

Just read this on FB (the Express, god knows if there’s any truth in it) https://www.express.co.uk/news/natu...CVlBnRb3zI6nqdFuxTOCVSIqyKXo-yKqFGo2YXwa1U6hI

Wish I knew where in Herts.

looks like dog-dog contact. and people ask what the risk is

The case report is from rvc- not sure where the dog came from though. There’s plenty of imported cases all over the south east. The mass ‘rescue’ of these community/street dogs is criminal on so many levels

It was a matter of time until this happened. I wish people would see sense and stop importing them.

There are two imports living on our farm. My dogs don't have direct contact with them but I really hate the risk.

But they are health tested before they come over....

Can any of you scientists share me a link to proof that dog - dog transmission is possible? Thank you.

previous post with links re. bite wounds.

Given the reports it does seem like it is only a matter of time before someone identifies something similar in the UK with the number of imports. I guess I'm just surprised how non-bothered people importing rescues are.
