Hinweis der Redaktion
- If the dam has been vaccinated during pregnancy, the foal’s vaccinations should not start until it is five to six months old. If a mare has not been vaccinated during pregnancy, the foal should be vaccinated at three to four months. A young foal will need to receive booster shots at three- to four-week intervals. Following are some suggested recommendations for foal vaccinations, based on the dam being vaccinated in late gestation: four months : equine herpesvirus 1 and 4 six months : tetanus, western equine encephalitis, and eastern equine encephalitis nine months : influenza Talk with your veterinarian about other recommended vaccinations.
- Daily dewormers – sale horses Fecals – determine infestation load
- Halter and handle feet often – let farrier see foal when trimming dam. Work with both veterinarian and farrier on corrective trimming
