Vet day work

Twice a year we have a "vet day" here...Spring and Fall

In the spring we do EVA testing for our stallion, give him his vaccinations and have his teeth checked. Then comes the mares...all mares due to foal in the spring get all their vaccinations ( except WNV - which I still resist on..due to data ) and a Selenium shot. Yesterday was Legacy, Ally and Krinkles....Krinkles did us proud by being the best patient out of the three, just routine for her I guess.

Kallie had a full dental exam. She had her wolf teeth removed, in prep for her going into training this spring, she had WNV, regular vaccinations, and had 4 caps pulled off during her float procedure. All our horses are given stangles vaccine also..... so, spring work is done for now...

In the fall, we go through the same process, except the horses are then the new weanlings.....we keep all our herd on a reliable schedule, it helps alot with keeping them all healthy and feeling like a million bucks....

Kallie is not feeling like a million today...poor girl..those wolf teeth were miserable...it will take a few days for her to heal up... The caps came off fairly easy..but those wolf teeth were no near so cooperative..and the right side one was HUGE!
