Heidi,
Susan G and other vets:
I have been reading a lot lately about the new
veterinary protocols regarding vaccinations in dogs. (Annual vaccinations
are no longer recommended.) It seems to me that the same protocols would
apply to horses.
True, false or something else? Does it depend on the
vaccine? (For example, I would think that tetanus should be given
annually.) What about West Nile?
A wise woman (Teddy Lancaster) years
ago told this (then) newbie that she thinks that vaccines are over used.
Maybe Teddy was ahead of the curve!
TIA
I am not Heidi, Susan G or a vet at all, all I know is what my Dental Vet
told me to use. She said to vaccinate with Tetanus and West Nile only. My boys
are not on Swampy ground, no need for Potomac Horse Fever. No cases of Eastern,
Western, anything-ern have cropped up around Utah in years, that I know of. This
is what I have done or not done, for the last 2 years. Hopefully it won't come
back to bite me on the you-know-what or on my horses ykw. Beccy in Hot, Dry
Utah.
