There has only been one reported case in which a dog developed antibodies against Hendra Virus (HeV). The dog did not develop any signs of illness. It is thought the dog became infected from an infected horse and not directly from flying foxes. There is no evidence that dogs can be infected directly from flying foxes. The best protection for your dog is to keep it away from infected horses and as a general biosecurity precaution keep it away from flying foxes. Unless advised by Government officials there is no need to get your dog tested for HeV. If you are concerned about your dog please seek advice from your local veterinarian.
