I think I commented on your thread about it, I’ve been trial and erroring this for three years with my gelding.
I don’t pre-treat with banamine anymore. We want to know if he’s going to have a fever or not and that will mask it. He doesn’t react immediately, so giving him that early banamine is a waste of a dose and not good for him to have unless he really needs it. When he was reacting to the Vetera 6 way, we were going on 3 days of banamine with the pre-treat which isn’t great.
He also gets his flu/rhino a couple weeks after; you’re not suppose to give them IM and IN vaccines the same day.
Im also forgoing PHF for now, it’s not a very effective vaccine to begin with so that’s a consideration.
I wasn’t a fan of splitting vaccines up due to the possibility of MORE reactions, but did in the fall at least with rabies. He reacted just as harshly as he did to the Vetera 6 way in the spring so that was the end of that for me.
The other thing to keep in mind, they tend to have a lesser reaction to something new. Next spring Im planning the Zoetis Core again, but will be on top of temp checks in case he has a harsher reaction.
