I do all my vaccinations myself. I don't see what the big deal is. My vet would laugh at me if I asked him to do it.
Galadriel, The reason a veterinarian should be the one to vaccinate a horse is because he has been educated in more than just how to administer the vaccine. If one of your horses had reacted to a vaccine, would you have recognized the first warning sign? Have you been educated in the complex studies of veterinary medicine that allow you to recognize the first symptoms of an allergic reaction and aid in ceasing any further reactions that could be fatal to the horse? It concerns me greatly that you believe your veterinarian would laugh at you for asking him to administer vaccines, as a vet should know that there is always a potential for something to go wrong when vaccinating an animal, and he is the one that has been trained to handle a situation like this. I would not trust a vet like that to treat my horses.
I guess I missed the reading of the Table of scheduled vaccines. These were the questions I missed on the exam. I didn't know there were any Tables to study. Where are they?
I have always done all my own vaccines, but if it is your first time doing it, I would have your vet show you how, or ask a friend that knows.
I agree with Betty. Don't see any listing of the Table of scheduled vaccines, not even in the extra credit. I too missed questions on the quiz and just received "incorrect" instead of an answer.
Missed a question on the quiz about which horse needed non-core vaccinations. If you are showing at that many shows, there are a number of extra vaccinations you would need to give, as per the show guidelines. Not sure what they were looking for...
