INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ROD HALL, DVM, Oklahoma State Veterinarian
Just a heads up that Vesicular Stomatitis is continuing to spread. There are new affected premises and new affected Counties in Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado.
The most current situation report is here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/downloads/animal_diseases/vsv/sitrep-7-08-19.pdf
For more information about the disease and past outbreaks go here: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-disease-information/cattle-disease-information/vesicular-stomatitis-info
Please be aware that horses and livestock traveling to affected Counties will need to be examined by a veterinarian and have a CVI within five days of returning to Oklahoma. Horses and livestock being imported into Oklahoma must meet the same requirements.
Here is the language of Oklahoma’s Administrative Rules covering VSV:
