Why Vaccinations are Crucial for Horses

As a responsible horse owner, it's essential to understand the significance of vaccinations in maintaining the health of your equine partner. Vaccinations help safeguard horses against various life-threatening diseases, some of which can be highly contagious and even fatal.

Comprehensive Vaccination Options

At Lasers4Horses, we believe in offering tailored vaccination options that address the specific needs of your horse. Our team of skilled veterinarians will assess your horse's individual medical history, lifestyle, and risk factors to create a customized vaccination plan to maximize protection.

Core Vaccinations

Core vaccinations are essential for every horse, regardless of their environment or lifestyle. These vaccinations protect against diseases that pose a significant risk to horses nationwide. Our core vaccination options include:

  • Tetanus: Tetanus is a potentially fatal disease caused by the toxin-producing bacteria Clostridium tetani. Vaccination against tetanus is vital to protect your horse from this serious infection.
  • Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis: Encephalomyelitis refers to inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, which can cause severe neurological symptoms in horses. Vaccination against Eastern and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis is crucial in areas where mosquitoes carrying the viruses are present.
  • Rabies: Rabies is a fatal viral disease that affects the nervous system of horses and other mammals. Vaccination against rabies is not only critical for your horse's health but also helps prevent the spread of this disease to other animals and humans.
  • West Nile Virus: West Nile Virus is transmitted to horses through infected mosquitoes. Vaccinating your horse against this disease is highly recommended, especially in areas with a history of West Nile Virus activity.

Additional Vaccinations

In addition to core vaccinations, we offer various supplementary vaccines based on the specific risks your horse may face. These may include:

  • Equine Influenza: Equine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can affect horses of all ages. Vaccination against equine influenza is particularly important for horses that come into contact with new horses regularly, such as those attending shows or residing in boarding facilities.
  • Equine Herpesvirus (Rhinopneumonitis): Equine herpesvirus can cause respiratory infections, abortion in pregnant mares, and neurological disease in horses. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of infection and limits the spread of this contagious disease.
  • Strangles: Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection that affects the respiratory system and lymph nodes of horses. Vaccination against strangles can provide protection against this debilitating disease.
