[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 204126, member: 1101"] I worm EVERYTHING that comes onto this place...period! Where as most illnesses can be seen and treated, most parasites cannot, with some exceptions such as lice, now the big question is, would you allow a parasitic animal to come in and comprimize all of your previous hard work of worming the exisiting herd? Course not. My vote is for worming and VACINATIONS on arrival. Here is the reasons why.............. Worm to prevent infestation of parasites into existing herd. Vacinate of course to prevent disease ( event though most vacines offer little immunity prior to 15 days after vacination, with exception of nasal, and live modified to some extent). Thus not only protecting the new animal but of course your existing herd. IF you chose to treat the new animal as if it were sick, instead of vacinating upon arrival, you delay the window of vacination, sometimes by weeks, and offer this animal no immunity for the various bugs out there. Remember, that unless is a very well handled animal, you stress it every time you work it, so, I would do it all at one time, less stress for both of you in the end I think. Now of course, if the animal displays illness then of course it's a different story. Kind of a catch -22 situation that. :cboy: [/QUOTE]
