As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure – and with good reason. Many diseases and parasites in horses can have severe, if not fatal, consequences. We’re happy to help develop a preventative vaccine program tailored to your horse. Which diseases your horse is likely to be exposed to depends on what activities you do together, where you travel, and what we are seeing in the area for diseases. Did you know that deworming protocols have changed because of growing resistance to our dewormers? Today, we need to utilize fecal egg counts to determine not only which horse is shedding the most worms but also which worms are present and whether there is resistance developing. Annual wellness examinations are often combined with vaccination servies, and are another important part of proper preventative medicine, as issues like PPID and laminitis are best caught early before it becomes debilitating.
