Toxovax and Hep P

[daithi]

I toxovaxed my ewe lambs at the weekend, but they are also due their second shot of Hep P this week. How long should I leave between the two vaccinations?
I would also like to footvax them sometime this autumn, Is this to many vaccinations in short period?
They will be going to the ram in late October
Thanks

Heptavac will be fine not sure about the footvax, never used it.

I wouldn't think twice about doing all three together, if it saved gathering them again.

We did ewe lambs all together last winter and it made them very sick for a day or 2. We had a few slip lamb and one die could of been coincidence but we don’t think so. It’s the footvax we think is the issue others should be fine

I spoke to MSD today and they recommended if possible to give a two week interval between vaccines.

Are you saying you did them with Toxovax last winter, and a few slipped lambs (so in-lamb when jabbed)? Confused...

You wouldn’t have been the first.

Footvax can cause a temporary temperature rise and seems to effect the joints for a day or two sometimes, making sheep walk a bit stiff. That seems to happen whether it’s done on it’s own or at the same time as other jabs.

I’ve heard reports of Hep P making sheep off colour for a day or two as well, but i’ve Never seen it in all the years I used it.

I did toxo Enzo and heptavac p on one day a few years ago. Big mistake they couldn't die fast enough. Vet said it was too much for the immune system at one time
