OBSERVE:
«The Board of the Norwegian Guinea Pig Club has introduced a temporary exhibition quarantine for animals originating from herds in which one or more animals have been vaccinated with Nobivac KC, Nobivac BbPi, or any other vaccine formulation containing a live attenuated strain of Bordetella bronchiseptica (Bb). The quarantine period is 8 weeks, calculated from the date of the most recent vaccination administered within the herd.In addition, a 16-week quarantine has been introduced for participation in our exhibitions for animals originating from herds that have been treated for Bordetella bronchiseptica. This quarantine period is calculated from the date on which the last clinical sign is observed following the completion of treatment. »

All cavies must be checked in also those under transit.
Norwegian rules for check in will apply.
