I want to vaccinate my donkey and I want to make sure it's ok to give him the same 3 way I give my horse. There is a huge weight difference in the two animals, they still get the same amount vaccine? dummy me... lol

I thin it would be the same. I give my 16.1 hand horse the same shot as my 13.3 hand pony. I don't think weight matters. There is a 400lbs difference between them.

There is no special 3 way vaccination for donkeys. So use the same3 way you use on a horse. When you are doing an initial vaccination on a foal, the first set of shots must be followed by a second set of shots three to four weeks following. This important, one time only step, should not be overlooked. The three way provides immunity against eastern and western equine encephalitis, and tetanus. The rhino/influenza vaccine provides immunity against equine rhinopneumonitis and equine influenza.
