Title: Just a heads up
Post by: cajunl on January 21, 2024, 09:10:09 am
Just to give everyone a heads up. I lost a good solid older dog to Psuedorabies this week. She was hunted twice a week for the last couple months, Healthy as could be, and not yet 10 years old.

100% fine and healthy one evening to dead in less than 24hrs. All the classic symptoms. I hope not to have to deal with it again for a long time.

Thanks yall

T-dog a spot i have been hunting 10+ years. Best I can think of is caught two hogs about 100#s last Saturday. One boar and one sow with a shoat pig. She got it Thursday so 5 day incubation sounds about right.  She recently lost a k9 and had the socket open. May have had something to do with it.....but that is pure speculation.

She caught the hogs with her pups that are 2 1/2. As of yesterday they did not show any signs. Fingers crossed they stay that way. They get it and ill be out of the dpg game.

Bad thing is I cut the boar and turned him loose as well as the sow and shoat.

The dog that died, her great grandmother died from psuedorabies about 15 years ago along with 3 other dogs. My buddy that had here has hunted for 50 years. That is the only time he ever dealt with it.

Man I hope the young dogs don’t get it!!! I’m sure we all have released some hogs that we wouldn’t have had we known they weren’t fit for it.
