SORRY. Wanted to draw attention. There is another loop going a bit further down, but I wanted to try to glean as much opinion as possible. Yard has 5 confirmed cases of strangles.
One seriously ill. Owner of one horse on yard we sadly do not have control over, (the suspect carrier who brought it on to the yard in the first place!) insisting that their vet (A HIGH PROFILE LAMBOURNE VET) says it is <font color="red"> </font> for them to hack out their horse, (in an area highly populated with horses, private owners and small yards). I do not believe this. I do not believe for one milli-second that a vet would say this. Messages left for said vet to ring us. Nothing yet.
Makes such a mockery of our rather O.T.T. Hygiene, isolation, and quarantine measures, - to see a horse happily hacking off into the midst of so many other private owners, and yards.
Do any of you have vets that believe it is ABSOLUTELY FINE to hack a horse out from a so-called quarantined yard, with five confirmed strangles cases.... ??????? We are powerless to stop this person, but maybe the AHT, RCVS, or even DEFRA, or simply the RSCPA might be able to do something?
clues anyone??? I managed to stop said person today, not pleasant, not pleasant at all!!
