DPI:Emergency Animal Disease (EAD) alerts

Do you know where to find national animal disease alerts? The Australian Department of Agriculture regularly releases Emergency Animal Disease (EAD) alerts and bulletins for private practitioners. These alerts can be found at: www.daff.gov.au/animal-plant-health/pests-diseases-weeds/animal/ead-bulletin

It is important that veterinarians are familiar with the bulletins so they are aware of what diseases could impact their work.

Remember

You may be looking at the first case and you do not want to become famous as the vet who missed it!

Use the hotline number 1800 675 888 as hundreds of your colleagues do each year or contact your local government vet. 

You are not alone.
