Today my mare had her booster vet came and vaccinated her signed card and went again! Did not examine her at all :confused:. OH has been there last few years ( as I've been working) he said he didn't health check her then either? I assume they just rely on you informing them if something is wrong? I was wondering if your vets examine your horses at vaccination time? My mare Is healthy as far as I know and apart from an abcess at the end of the year she doesn't see the vet apart from vaccine time!
Dogs and cats get a full health check at vaccination time!
 
Check for what?
They usually check heart and gums as a standard before jabbing them, but that's all. I have teeth checked at the same time, as well, but that's for my convenience of memory
