Autopsy reveals equine influenza didn't kill horse

The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) says an autopsy has revealed the recent death of a horse at Wellington, in central western New South Wales, was from colic, not equine influenza.

The DPI has sought to correct media reports that the two-year-old horse died of horse flu.


Meanwhile, Blayney Shire Council says it has secured an equine influenza workshop at Blayney to be coordinated by the DPI.
It will be held next Tuesday afternoon at the Blayney Community Centre.
The state Minister for Primary Industries, Ian Macdonald, will be at the Australian National Field Days today to discuss the regional impact of the horse flu crisis.

Why is it that you say that EI did`nt kill the horses, yes it did, if it had`nt of contracted the bloody thing then it would`nt have got sick and not been able to eat and therefore get colic, what you say is the same as a person dying from AIDS, they don`t die from the AIDS, they die from pneumonia or something relating to the disease, its the same as humans that get the flu and die its not the flu, but flu related. But if they did not have it they would`nt have died. Get your facts right.
