What can we do to help the vets?
I have just caught up with the latest blogs and was taken by the comments from Andrew Speers (Vet).
If we are in an area with EI all around us (waiting for the inevitable to happen) couldn’t we have the information that the vet needs for his paperwork already prepared, that is, if we knew what the questions were, couldn’t we already have the answers noted down? For instance if the vet needs to know who’s been where, we could keep a diary detailing this information from ‘now’ until we get EI or it goes past us (we wish). That shouldn’t be too hard should it? I’d be prepared to do that.
Unless the questions are a secret, could a vet post them on this blog so we can help minimise their workload by being a little bit prepared.

Pam,
the paperwork the vet has to fill out is available on the DPI web page:
http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/cps/rde/xbcr/dpi/DPIF-SurveillancePackage-QueenslandVets.pdf
The actual forms start on page 11.
Record temps of your horses, date when the symptoms started (coughing, nasal discharge), any other observations (off feed, 'depressed', ...) - that's going to make it a lot faster and easier.
Cheers,
Manu
