Please note that attached is the latest media release from Agriculture Victoria regarding the investigation into the recent sudden deaths in horses in Victoria. I urge horse owners to be vigilant, gain your information from reputable sources, and contact your vet if you have any concerns. Reporting of suspected cases directly to Agriculture Victoria or the emergency animal diseases hotline is essential in confirming cases and working towards identifying the potential cause.

Please monitor your horses for the following symptoms: dullness, lethargy, inappetance, diarrhoea, colic and an elevated temperature (above 38.5°C).

I understand this a worrying time, but rest assured that a large effort and collaborative approach is underway to hopefully determine the cause and keep your horses as safe as possible.

Agriculture Victoria investigating sudden horse deaths Agriculture Victoria is investigating the cause of multiple sudden deaths in horses which have occurred on separate properties since 4 July, 2023.
