Spring Vaccines and Specials
FOR YOUR HORSES OR SHEEP/GOATS/ALPACAS/LLAMAS
Equine Vaccines
March 4, 2024
Well we had seen sun but now we have seen some snow and cold temperatures as March came in
like a lion? Only time will tell but we wanted to let you know about scheduling your horse’s spring
vaccines and dentistry. This year, we recommend that all horses receive the 5-way vaccine (Eastern and
Western encephalitis, flu/rhino, tetanus) vaccine and the West Nile virus vaccine in the spring as well as a
fecal. The spring special package this year is $99 per horse (plus farm call) and includes the 5-way and
West Nile virus vaccines, fecal egg count, and a dental exam.
Other specials, when booked at the same time at your spring package, include:
Dental float, including sedation, for $150 (annual refloat) or $175 (initial float) ($15 savings)
Farrier radiographs, including interpretation (2 views of both front feet), which can be emailed to both
you and your farrier, for $165 (a $17 saving)
Annual bloodwork, fecal and a Coggins certificate for $195.00 (a savings of $25).
We are also offering both our equine annual Wellness package and our senior equine Wellness
package. The equine package will be $750.00 (a saving of over $200) and the senior equine Wellness
package will be $975.00 (a saving of over $225). Both packages include: 2 farm calls; 2 physical exams
and weight check; 2 dental exams; 2 fecal parasite tests, deworming; Spring vaccines – EWT, Rhino,
Influenza, West Nile Virus (Prestige VI); Fall vaccines – Rhino, Influenza, Rabies; annual dental float
including sedation; annual hoof radiographs (spring or fall); Sheath cleaning (spring or fall); Coggins test
(annual); Equine early detection bloodwork (annual). The senior equine package also includes the
metabolic panel (ACTH/Insulin/leptin/T4/blood glucose), which will be run in the fall.
We also now have equine emergency first aid kits available. These contain a stethoscope,
thermometer, eye ointment, wound and bandaging supplies, antibiotic ointment and a laminated sheet
with vitals. A second version, which also contains banamine paste and dormosedan paste, is also
available.
We hope that you have had an enjoyable and safe winter with your horses. Thank you for making
Wasatch Veterinary Large Animal a part of your family’s health care and we look forward to hearing
from you to schedule your spring appointment.

Goats/Sheep/Alpaca Spring Vaccines
March 4, 2024
Well we had seen sun but now we have seen some snow and cold temperatures as March
came in like a lion? Only time will tell but we wanted to let you know about spring
vaccines/fecal egg count. Sheep/goats/alpacas/llamas will need their annual exam, CD+T
vaccine and a fecal egg count (total cost $94.00 plus farm call). It is recommended to vaccinate
pregnant animals 4 weeks prior to parturition and to vaccinate offspring at 6-8 weeks of age
followed by a booster one month later.
Additional options for your flock management spring work include:
Small ruminant bloodwork tests for Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis/Ovine Progressive
Pneumonia (CAE/OPP), Caseous Lymphadentitis (CL) and Johne’s Disease.
Blood test for selenium (and other trace mineral) levels – selenium can be low due to hay
in our area and, if the goat or sheep is deficient, this can be lethal to new lambs/kids
Hoof trimming
Ultrasound exam/bloodwork - which can we used to confirm pregnancy
We also now have emergency first aid kits available. These contain a stethoscope,
thermometer, eye ointment, wound and bandaging supplies, antibiotic ointment, equioxx pain
medication (an NSAID) and a laminated sheet with vitals. Please let us know if you would like
to order one for your animals and we can bring it to your spring appointment.

We hope that you have had an enjoyable and safe winter with your animals. Thank you
