I noticed a recent study with PHF and abortion.
Any other recent info?
Here in Northern CA, apparently there is an outbreak.
I just rescued a weanling from that area. He has snotty eyes and nose - seems a bit down - starving and hasn't stopped eating since Thursday morning when we brought him home. We are working hard on 'catching' him by sitting for hours and hours in his pen. I was able to worm him yesterday - I just squirted a little bit of wormer on his hay - he ate it !!! he has had no vaccinations or worming - no date of birth, but probably about 6 months old.
His stools are just fine - even with the move and new location, so I don't think I am worried about PHF - YET....but want to make sure. He won't eat grain or goodies - has to get used to it. I mixed some leaves from the hay with alfalfa pellets - no go. I am hoping his symptoms are just a sign of the conditions he came from and not an infection.
Thanks, Kathy

Hello Kathy,
As new information comes in we publish it in the discussion section and if deemed relevant enough update the article. The PHF article has been updated in the last 30 days so should containing the latest information available.
