Howdy all! I'm thinking ahead for spring and possibly even right now. I currently have a couple donkeys and 1 mini that as far as I know have never had their yearly shots done, i.e. West Nile, Tetnus, Rabies,Influenza, basicly the necessities. I know that a couple of those shots have to be given by a vet, at least per my vet's advice.
I'm very good about keeping all my horses up to date on their shots/coggins because most of mine show every year so I have the vet come every April and give the necessary shots and take blood for the coggins. What I'm wanting to do is cut back on the cost of having some of this done by the vet and be able to do my own for those animals that don't go out and show.
What I'm wanting to know is, how many of you give your own yearly shots to your horses and where do you get your shots from? I've never looked at the bottles or asked my vet if the same dosage amount is given to each animal.
I hope that you don't get the wrong impression of me from what I'm asking. I love my equines very much and would do almost anything to keep them healthy, that includes making sure that they get their yearly shots. I'm just trying to save a little money for whatever may come in the future.
Thanks!
