Bluetongue Spreads in SW Scotland | Glasgow News

Bluetongue BTV-3 has hit a third farm in South West Scotland—just one sheep, but alarmingly close to two previous outbreak sites. All infected animals have been euthanized, and officials are tightening restrictions as they scramble to contain the virus. Chief Veterinary Officer Sheila Voas is urging farmers to stay vigilant and seriously consider vaccination with their vets. Symptoms include swollen lips, lameness, or reduced milk production—report any suspicions immediately to prevent further spread. This isn’t isolated; the virus is actively circulating, and quick action is critical. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
