Vaccine query for those in know!
« on: April 06, 2025, 11:48:59 am »
Half way through lambing and, well, it's been interesting!!

Current 3 in, 2am this morning had to go down to separate them, Shetland (single) charged and bowled over a Whiltshire Horn (twins) who according to mum cried out (the WH) when she went down (I'll have to check the camera) and half hour earlier, the Wiltshire Horn had charged the Castlemilk (also twins!) Bloody Sheep!

So, due to Hep P issues, if I vaccinate the lambs with Bravoxin 10 for example AND vaccinate the ewes, if Hep P comes back in stock, could I still give the Ewes the booster jab and would it work or would the Bravoxin 10 (or whatever vaccine is used) be the dominant one in their system?

No matter how crap you feel, always remember you're one of the lucky ones with your own piece of land and loony sheep!

Good question  :thinking:  If they’ve lapsed on the heptavac timings I expect they’d need a full course? You could always ask your vet to check with the drug company.

I was.thinking if I jabbed them with an alternative, would the hep P booster still work and still cover them if i could get in a bottle for later this year, I think I started them On it September.
