DPI - YOUR DIRTY SECRETS OUT - EI - ANOTHER HORSE DIES
On Friday Morning a 13 year old T/Bred Gelding Died from EI complications in SE QLD. (Within 20 minutes drive of Tamborine).
After several phone calls to the DPI and next to no response besides "We are looking into it", we then went down to the Tamborine Resource Centre.
After finding the horse at 7 am he was finally buried by 5:30 pm.
The DPI phoned at 4pm and said "we would like to take tissue samples but due to the horse being in the sun in 32 degree temperatures we doubt what we would get from it" Making people feel they should have contacted them sooner. (7am not early enough? and Andrew the DPI vet spoken with at 7am Friday morning only finally called back Saturday night well and truly after the fact).
DPI call centre responded the day before when the horse was alive that this was normal EI symptoms.
Now after the fact the DPI claim they never would have said that and questioned me what normal person would take a advisory call centres word for medical treatment. My advice back to Dean the customer representative I spoke with this morning at 7:50 am that his words "Advisory - meaning advice" and if the advisory people don’t know then who does? And you are lucky to get a vet to come out. He said Vets will come out.
One DPI call centre representative in Friday whilst we waiting to get through to customer representative Dale (in charge of disposals), laughed at the fact there was a dead horse in the paddock, and asked didn’t they have a back hoe to dig a hole.
To all you people on here saying we should do more, we haven’t done enough I ask you please tell that to the young girl who walked down her paddock on Friday morning to find the horse she so desperately loved that she could have done more. Please tell her, please with all your wisdom and ability tell her how you would, how she should have done things differently, Fact is where all flying blind here with no parachute, god help us when we finally come crashing down.
We never asked for it, my friend and her deceased horse never asked for it, but the DPI certainly had plenty of time to respond and didn’t.
I can only recall my friends words to the DPI and nothing truer has been spoken... you cant keep hiding us away on our acreage blocks like dirty little secrets.

Laura Scott

There have been a lot more horses who have did from complications connected with EI than the Qld DPI will ever let you know about.
Ask the DPI vet at Tamborine about the Stallion,mare and foal that died very early on in the EI outbreak in Tamborine and see what reaction you get, they wont or cant release the results of the autopsys amd from what I have been told it was not good
