Know the signs and do the right thing !

Be alert: equine flu cases are rising in the UK.

Recent reports show a sudden increase in equine influenza outbreaks this month. A reminder of how quickly this highly contagious illness can spread.

Knowing the signs and acting quickly can help protect your horse and others on your yard.

Look out for:
🌡️ A temperature above 38.5°C
🐴 A frequent dry, harsh cough
💧 Nasal discharge
🥕 Loss of appetite
💤 Lethargy
🩺 Swollen or painful glands around the jaw
🌾 Gagging when eating

If you notice any of these signs, isolate your horse straight away and contact your vet promptly.
