Oklahoma’s state veterinarian has a warning, after he says his office was left in the dark about a recent case of high path avian flu.
State vet Rod Hall says that he was recently notified about a positive case by the Oklahoma State Diagnostic Lab. The problem is, his office was never notified by the veterinarian who took the sample.
He reminds vets and animal owners that it is state law to report suspicions of foreign animal diseases or highly consequential diseases to the state.
He is also warning about sources of water that attract wild birds, saying that almost every case in backyard flocks has involved a public water source.
