Vaccination & Parasite Prevention FAQs
Just a few common questions about Vaccination & Parasite Prevention. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
Do you provide a set vaccination schedule for every farm?
We can provide a clear schedule, but it is usually property-specific. Species, age groups, and disease history change what makes sense, and we prefer a plan you can realistically follow year to year.
Should I treat for worms if animals look well?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Parasite burdens can build before obvious signs appear, so faecal egg counts are often the best way to decide when treatment is needed and when it can wait.
Can vaccinations and parasite treatments be done on the same day?
Often they can, provided the animals are well, handling is calm, and the plan is sensible for the stock class. We will also consider heat, transport, recent stressors, and any previous reactions.
What records should I keep?
Dates, product names, batch numbers, dose rates, who was treated, and any unusual reactions are the main ones. If you want a simple template, ask the team at Townsend Vet Albury and we can share a format that suits your setup.
