Your donkeys will also require annual vaccines to maintain their health. The vaccine requirements vary by region and only a qualified veterinarian can provide the necessary information. The most common components of vaccines are for the prevention of:
Tetanus
Sleeping Sickness
Influenza
Rhino Virus
In addition to the above vaccines, Peaceful Valley strongly recommends that you have your donkeys vaccinated against the West Nile Virus every six months. West Nile has appeared in nearly every area of the country and can be fatal in non-vaccinated animals.
If you have acquired donkeys that have not been previously immunized, it is important that you begin their vaccination process with an initial dose of both types of vaccines followed by a second booster dose 4-6 weeks later. After this initial treatment, subsequent vaccines are given every six or 12 months as directed.
