Time to think about getting your horse ready for a healthy autumn!
While your vet may decide to recommend differently based on the individual needs of your horse, there are some common vaccinations that are typically administered in the fall.
Flu/Rhino is mandated and must be documented as having been administered within 6 months for any horse traveling to a recognized competition. It's highly recommended for any horse interacting with horses who have recently traveled to a different barn or location.
The Potomac Horse Fever booster is recommended in our area for any horse who was vaccinated before May of 2022. We've seen an increased number of PHF cases throughout the Hudson Valley this year so let's keep our horses protected.
West Nile Virus is something we vaccinate against especially if your horse will be traveling south this winter.
EEE and EWT boosters are also common this time of year.
Give our office a call to set up your herd's fall boosters & wellness check-ups. And don't forget that you can save on call fees when you haul-in!
Dr. Danielle Schilpp is transitioning this month to a full time position as an Examining Veterinarian for the New York Racing Association. She will still be available to Millbrook Equine on a case-by-case basis for sports medicine, sport horse rehabilitation, and to support the team for advanced procedures.
If you’re headed to the races at Belmont this season be sure to say hello!
