[Disease or Condition] Soremouth (Contagious Pustular Dermatitis) [Possible Treatments] Isolate infected animal. Destroy animal if possible. Infected animals will rapidly spread this disease to herd and possibly humans. Often animals that have been infected will always remain a carrier of this disease and could cause future outbreaks, eventhough, once an animal has had this disease and it has run its course, that animal will be immune. Refrain from handling animal, disinfect, shoes, clothing, barn, and pastures of where an infected animal inhabited. Use extreme caution to prevent the spread. There is a vaccine to prevent infection and may reduce the recovery time of the infected animal however, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND VACCINATING, the vaccine is a live virus and will often cause the person giving the vaccine to get soremouth.
