If you missed our respiratory disease talk last Friday evening (we know some of you spent it sat on the A30 in traffic 😔 ) here are perhaps the most important slides we discussed

Key to disease prevention is good biosecurity, and use of vaccinations where available!

- Know the symptoms, and what is normal for your horse. Act quickly if signs of disease are seen and call your vet.

- Vaccines significantly reduce the spread of disease, and if your horses are affected it will limit the clinical signs too, meaning a less sick horse and a quicker recovery.

- Applying biosecurity measures as part of your daily routine will help prevent an outbreak. Every yard is different, so having a bespoke yard plan to implement if any disease is ever suspected is advisable.

And don't forget - our Strangvac amnesty (2nd vaccine free) is running for all 1st jabs booked before November 27th!

Our Strangvac Amnesty is running NOW until 27th November - 1st vaccine for £45, 2nd vaccine FREE*!

Unsure if Strangvac is a good idea for your horse? See the FAQs below, or feel free to get in touch and speak to one of our vets for advice.

Which horses should be vaccinated for strangles using Strangvac?
- Horses at livery yards with movement on and off the yard
- Horses travelling to training, competition or stud
- Horses which are thought to have contacted a clinical case
- Locally, horses which may come into contact with wild pony populations

What vaccination schedule should be recommended for Strangvac?
- A primary course of two injections a month apart.
- The original data sheet recommends a booster vaccination at 2 months in high-risk (active outbreak) situations. However, antibodies are known to last for at least 12 months. A pragmatic approach has been used by vets in UK and Europe with boosters being given every 6-12 months, depending on risk assessment by vet and owner.
- Should the horse be exposed to a known case, immediate revaccination will maximise protection.

*Not inc. visit charges, but can be booked for zone day appointments/yard visits.
