WNV in Mares and Foals-When to Vaccinate?

Written by Michele Anderson


Continued from page 1

IMPORTANT NOTE: Dr.Wilson would have serious concerns about vaccinating foals at such a young age if their dams WERE vaccinated or had been previously EXPOSED to WNV. Studies with influenza, EEE, WEE, tetanus, rabies, and EHV have shown that maternal antibody interference extends up to to six months and beyond. Therefore, many foals vaccinated at less than six months of age fail to mount a protective immune response torepparttar standard two-dose primary vaccination series.

To avoid this problem, Wilson has recommended that veterinarians delay vaccination of foals from mares which were vaccinated or exposed to WNV untilrepparttar 116310 foal is about six months of age. Wilson recommendsrepparttar 116311 following series:

FIRST vaccination at six months or older. SECOND vaccination three to four weeks later.

THIRD vaccination six to eight weeks afterrepparttar 116312 second dose of vaccine.

What Dr.Wilson and others have found with other vaccines is that many (foals) don't respond optimally after two doses of vaccine even when vaccination is started after maternal antibodies have waned. A third dose gives a little more assurance thatrepparttar 116313 ones that haven't responded to two doses will respond torepparttar 116314 third dose.

Please check with your personal veterinarian for more information on if and when to vaccinate your mares or foals for WNV.

I discovered many ways to advertise (Free in some cases) or very inexpensively in others using text ads in relevant ezines. This wasrepparttar perfect way to reach my targeted audience and test my ads to see how good each one pulled in potential customers, without spending a fortune. - Promoting using solo advertisements This, by far, has to berepparttar 116309 best paid advertising I have ever done. I found that a lot of my targeted customers were subscribed to ezines that would allow me to run a full-page sponsorship advertisement introducing my own products. My response was phenomenal. I could get as many as 700 or more unique or targeted visitors and at least 15-20 orders a visit with some ofrepparttar 116310 bigger lists. If I sold a $40 product andrepparttar 116311 ad cost me $100, I made at least $400 each time. What's more, once I usedrepparttar 116312 ad and got such a tremendous response I knewrepparttar 116313 ad was a winner and I could use it over and over. - Ad swaps: This is a great way if you are on a tight budget. I simply wrote to several ezine publishers and requested an ad swap, my ad for their ad. This was terrific and I received a great response. Who wouldn't want free advertising with their targeted audience! This way I could reach allot more potential targeted customers and it is totally FREE advertising.
