1.
Pregnant Mare: a.
Keep your mare on a regular de-worming schedule with your other horses. We have recently changed our deworming to a rotational schedule, based on a fecal exam. Your mare will be placed in a low, moderate, or high shedder group which will determine how many times per year she will need to be dewormed. Please contact our office for further information. All dewormers on our schedule are safe for pregnant mares. Ivermectin will be used an additional time after foaling. b.
Rhinopneumonitis vaccines are recommended at 4, 6 and 8 months of gestation to help prevent viral abortions. A separate
Influenza vaccine is suggested at 6 or 8 months of gestation. (Sept. or Oct.) We do not suggest vaccinating early pregnant mares at all between breeding and 45 days gestation. Keep your mares current on West Nile vaccinations if your veterinarian suggests it, it is safe for pregnant mares. c.
Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, Influenza, Rhino and West Nile vaccinations given at 10 months of gestation (usually scheduled separately for each pregnant mare 4-6 weeks prior to estimated foaling dates.) A Strangles vaccine
(I.M.) is an optional vaccine given at 10 months of gestation in areas of high exposure to this disease. These vaccines will encourage good colostral antibodies against these bacteria and viruses for your foal’s protection after birth. d.
Rotavirus is shed in manure and can cause diarrhea in foals. We are recommending that any farm that is having multiple foals born, or has had problems with diarrhea in your foals in the past, that you vaccinate your pregnant mares for Rotavirus (Fort
Dodge) at 8, 9, and 10 months of gestation.
If you plan on foaling your mare at WECH, this protocol is strongly recommended. e.
Open Caslick’s at 2-3 weeks prior to due date (or when enlargement of mammary gland is noticed.) If your mare has a history of problems in late pregnancy or foaling early, please discuss with your veterinarian BEFORE having the Caslick’s removed. f.
All broodmares are considered high risk for infectious disease. We recommend isolating broodmares from all other horses on the farm, especially new horses or horses that travel or show.
2.
At Foaling a.
De-worm mare with Ivermectin paste the day of foaling to reduce Strongyloides westeri larval transmission through milk and decrease the risk of diarrhea at foal heat. b.
Apply dilute betadine solution to foal’s navel 2-3 times daily for the first 2 days. c.
If foaling is uncomplicated, have a veterinarian perform a physical examination on the foal and mare. We suggest blood be drawn from the foal to assess transfer of colostrum at 8-24 hours after foal has nursed (IGG test and CBC). d.
The foal should only be given a Tetanus Toxoid at birth if the mare was not given a Tetanus Toxoid booster in the last 4-6 weeks. (included in the 5/1 )
3.
Foal De-worming a.
Rotate de-worming starting at 2 months of age and continuing monthly until 1 year of age with 1/3 to 1/2 tube (400-500# dose for most foals except miniature horses) of:
Month 1- Ivermectin (age 2 months) Month 2-Strongid
Month 3- Panacur or Anthelcide Month 4- restart rotation
