Vaccines are readily available at farm supply stores, online pharmacies and other retailers, but “cheaper” vaccines aren’t
the value they first appear to be. There are hidden risks and costs associated with vaccinating animals yourself.
Contact our practice about developing a customized vaccine program for your horse based on its environmental exposure andother factors. Coupled with other routine services and check-
ups, veterinarian-administered vaccines are always safer, easier and a better value in the long run than doing it yourself.
Here are some thoughts about the current air quality issues:
As with humans, horses should have limited exertion. No hard work outs.
Fly masks should be worn when horses are turned out with ashy skies.
Provide your horses with lots of clean water.
Horses with respiratory issues such as COPD and asthma should be monitored very carefully and kept in the barn. Avoid exposure to irritants as much as possible.
Feel free to call us if you have any questions or concerns.
