Strangles in Bedfordshire?

[Slightly Foxed]

I've just had my BHS local e-newsletter and it tells me there have been some cases of strangles in the north of the county but no details. Anyone know any more?

Pm'd you

I know of a yard just over the border in Northamptonshire. I also know they are being responsible & are on lock down.

 

[Slightly Foxed]

Thanks Copperpot, that's not a million miles away. Let's hope they manage to contain it.

Yup, my YO told me of a case around that area. I hope they manage to contain it. I had no idea what it was untill a few days ago and it doesn't sound fun.

I had text from friend saying it was in eaton bray. Next village from me.

Swanspool vets have issued a caution although they say the few cases that there are have been contained so we can go about horsey business as normal. Just watch what you bring in from outside!

I would appreciate a PM too please as I am on the Beds/ bucks border.

I will try to find out more tomorrow regarding case in Eaton Bray / South Beds as its 2nd hand information and sent as a warning to me.

The yard in beds is on lock down as a precaution so no need to worry and has been since 26th April

Just be sensible with your new horses coming in - quarantine them for the normal 21 days away from the rest of the yard.

Get the yard equipment disinfected that are shared!

Also people always forget to wash hands in between touching horses! Get the alcohol gel to rub in -no water needed!
