Please be vigilant and check for ticks
Posted by on Jan 23, 2010 in General News, Welfare | 0 commentsIt has been brought to our attention that there has been 3 cases of Piroplasmosis in the last few days around the Confolens (dept.16) area. Whilst we don’t want to scare monger people, it’s always worth checking your equines for ticks frequently and knowing the tell tale signs of Piroplasmosis.The ticks that have been the culprits recently have apparently been very small and can easily be missed.
Please refer to our earlier posts on Piroplasmosis for more details on the disease;
