The clinical signs of Foot and Mouth Disease include fever and painful blisters between the hooves. [Jenipher Wachie, Standard]
My farm has suffered two episodes of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). The initial attack was blamed on lack of vaccination. I had not vaccinated and from that time about three years ago I took vaccinations seriously until late last year when I suffered another attack. The attack hit after I brought in a new calf. The seller told me he had vaccinated it against FMD and other diseases. When it happened, I quickly isolated the animal and called in a vet who treated it. Kindly educate me on this disease. [George Njoroge, Kiambu]
