Our vet clinic continues to state that multiple shots are not a problem. It is for my one of my horses. A few hours after his last 3 way he was so stiff he couldn't get his head down to eat, had hives all over him, and his feet were hot. Stood him in mud for hours and he came out of the situation with no permanent damage. Figured we were lucky.restoration42https://www.blogger.com/profile/09225587029759842297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-84676072239553989662009-04-21T20:50:00.000-07:002009-04-21T20:50:00.000-07:00I'm with you that Kestrel.

I had people in my face, acting like I'd lost my mind, that I was taking such a risk. <br /><br />One woman, especially vocal about it half yelled at me, "You don't even know what the side effects of it could be." I looked at her for a moment, said very deliberately, "No, you're right I don't, but I do know what the side effects of West Nile are." <br /><br />End of conversation. She really had nothing left to say.horspoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838010404746375255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-48368641822371584232009-04-21T08:55:00.000-07:002009-04-21T08:55:00.000-07:00Yikes!

The scary thing is that if they react that violently to the vaccine, what would the actual disease do to them?kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253025366100154732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-47918721964490635382009-04-21T07:56:00.000-07:002009-04-21T07:56:00.000-07:00And even when you've done everything right and tak...And even when you've done everything right and taken everything into consideration you can still almost lose your horse.<br /><br />Elmo had a violent reaction to the flu/rhino vaccine and it started to eat away his flesh. We almost lost him twice and he was in the vet clinic getting debrided 4 times a day for over a week... then I had to do it. Took him almost a full year to recover and get the wound (which was 14" wide by 12" long) healed up. <br /><br />Very scary. If I hadn't have checked on him that night, he would have been dead in the morning.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://36andsingle.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">36 & Single</A>SweetPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762714976706163036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-51277752154914502542009-04-21T03:33:00.000-07:002009-04-21T03:33:00.000-07:00Good advice.

Ya think!? Good lord. <br /><br />Is the horse going to be okay? <br /><br />I give 5 ways. But with new horses that I don't have the vet records on...we do individual shots, and space them out. <br /><br />Before Strangles was offered in the nasal form, I almost lost a horse to strangles vaccine. I didn't give it for years. To anything. <br /><br />The ones I see the most reaction to are the rhino vaccines. Seems like if there is going to be a reaction it's the rhino. <br /><br />My old Arab was always 'sick' for a day or two after shots. Glassy eyed, low grade fever. Wormers were hard on him too. Funny. He was only on antibiotics twice in his life. Seriously healthy little beast, but shots kicked his butt. (EPM got him at 22).horspoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838010404746375255noreply@blogger.com
