Hello Dr.O, I purchased some vaccines from my vet on 4/28. One of them was mixed in the office. It is Cephalouac VEWT. They have been stored in the fridge. Are they too old to use since they were mixed in the syringe??
Also, I was giving one horse a flu/rhino shot and for some reason part of it shot back on me. I think about 1/2 cc did not get into the horse. Should I re-vaccinate? he only weights about 750lbs.
Thanks so much

I am not familar with this brand so I would follow the instructions given on the package: check with the vets office. Concerning the lost vaccine, yes I would revaccinate.

Thanks, Dr. O. I am going to be at the vet's office in the morning so I will talk to him then.
