Small Ruminant Vaccinations and Preventive Care
Vaccinations are a critical part of keeping sheep and goats healthy and preventing the spread of disease. Our team works with you to develop a custom vaccination program tailored to your herd, management style, and regional disease risks in Flagstaff and surrounding areas.
Common vaccines we recommend include protection against:
- diseases such as tetanus and enterotoxemia
- Respiratory diseases like pneumonia
- Reproductive diseases including Chlamydia
Preventive care not only protects individual animals but also supports the overall health of your herd.
Small Ruminant Nutrition Services
Proper nutrition plays a major role in the long-term health and performance of sheep and goats. At Aspen Veterinary Clinic, we work closely with owners to evaluate and fine-tune feeding programs that meet the specific needs of their animals.
We assess nutritional requirements based on:
- Age and growth stage
- Production status (growing, breeding, or lactating)
- Forage quality and availability in Northern Arizona
Our veterinarians provide practical guidance on feed formulation, supplementation, and ration balancing, helping ensure your animals receive adequate energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. We also use body condition scoring as a hands-on way to monitor nutritional status and make adjustments before problems arise.

Successful breeding starts with thoughtful management. Aspen Veterinary Clinic provides reproductive care designed to support healthy pregnancies and strong offspring.
Our small ruminant reproductive services include:
- Breeding season planning and reproductive strategies
- Estrus synchronization protocols when appropriate

We also monitor pregnancies and provide support during lambing and kidding, helping reduce complications and improve outcomes for both mothers and newborns.
