Vaccinating horses is essential in helping to prevent disease, such as equine flu and tetanus. A vaccination plan is unique to each individual animal , therefore it is important to discuss and implement a plan with your vet, to determine the frequency of booster vaccinations needed. Starting a foals vaccinations depends on the quality of the colostrum received by the foal at birth. Maternal antibodies protect the foals immunity up to this point. Vaccine boosters are determined by what vaccine is used and various competition requirements.
Other diseases, such as equine herpes virus, can be vaccinated against in breeding animals.
Please contact the office to discuss a vaccination plan that suits you with one of our vets.
