Vetmeduni is taking numerous precautionary measures due to the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Slovakia and Hungary. These include the installation of an epidemic carpet at the entrance to the campus. There are also restrictions on the acceptance of cloven-hoofed animals, camels.
Horses cannot contract the disease, so you do not need to worry about the health of your horse.
In order to prevent the transmission of FMD to cloven-hoofed animals via transport vehicles or bedding, no horses from Hungary and Slovakia are currently being accepted. All patient owners are requested to comply with the following safety precautions in order to protect the Vetmeduni campus and all patient animals in the best possible way.
