Would it be a problem if I doubled up on a flu and tetanus jab?
I am having difficulty in finding out when my new chap was last done, and want to make sure he is covered, but also want to check it wouldn't be causing any problems in doing so - I will contact my vet to check, but thought I'd ask the question here first.

your vet should have a record of when he was last done.

your vet should have a record of when he was last done. Not if he's new! His most recent jabs SHOULD be recorded on his passport. Having said that, a lot of mine aren't because the breed society has been very slow in sending passports back - so they will have to be entered late. If the former owner can't help, then I'd start again. It's unlikely to cause any problem at all (other than expense!) |

As far as I am aware you can double up, when we had a new one that we wern't sure if vaccinated etc the vet thought safer to do even if done than not to be done.

I would have thought that if he has no documentation, the chances are high that he has not been vaccinated. I can't imagine you can do any harm, afterall, the FEI now want international competition horses to have boosters every 6 months. Your vet is the best person to advise though  |

Mine has a flu every 12 months and flu/tet every 2 years, only I can't remember if they are 2 separate jabs or one combined. I THINK it is one combined.
I the USA some horses have 6 different innoculations on one day!
