Yes does give them some stick. We made mistake of doing it at the same time as heptavac once. Big mistake several slipped lamb and one dead

Did heptavac and footvax in some ewes last year at same time. Not recommended, I know but was advised it would be OK as long as vaccinations were done on opposite sides of the sheep as lymphatic system works separately on each side of animal. No noticeable ill effects and sheep went on to lamb fine.

95% of these were ok but maybe being smaller ewe lambs at the wrong time in pregnancy was at fault

Footvax works and its part of our whole flock vaccination programme but I don't like how much it affects them. Seems a particularly nasty vaccine.
