In memory of my beloved Luna, Australian cattle/shepherd#aussiemix. My furry girl passed away unexpectedly, 9yr. 8/21/21. #redheeler#bluemoon#queenslandheeler
Neospora transmission to cattle occurs in 1 of 2 ways; Dogs to cattle – this occurs when dogs eat part of an infected aborted calf or placenta, or even infected wildlife, allowing the parasite to multiply within the dog resulting in the shedding of the parasite in the dog faeces
The name of this dog breed - Stumpy Tail Cattle Dog - is very fitting, as these dogs are born with stumpy tails and have a history of working as cattle dogs. Funny how things work out like that.
