Hi, Suzann.
I hope everyone at Boardsmill is well. Would you be so good as to check out a few queries from me?
Do you require both a cervical and clitoral swab for a maiden mare(my 7 year old Kalanisi)
Her flu and tet vaccine regime has been completely messed up when she was away in training. I checked with my local vet recently and he decided she had enough tetanus cover but to restart her flu vaccinations. I gave her her first flu vaccination this week and I am asking is this sufficient for her to go to stud this year? Or do I need to do another in a month and even a third later in the year which might mean her missing this year at stud.
I would very much appreciate your advice on this matter and also is it possible to know Sumbal’scovering fee for this year?
Many thanks,
Patricia.
