In Finlay's case the horse had been given a West Nile vaccination 2 days prior to displaying signs of illness, so there was a question as to whether it was a reaction to the vaccination or if it was rabies. He was transported to CSU where he was isolated and monitored, but after 24 hours his condition declined so rapidly he was euthanized and tested, result positive for rabies. His initial signs were lethargy, slight neurologic instability and Shari had noticed slight twitching in his nose. Nothing dramatic. He still had an appetite and recognized Shari, even nickering to her. Fjords are so stoic... I don't know why I'm even bothering to type paragraphs...as they don't seem to come through when the post reaches the list... ;-) Beth This message is from: Robin Churchill <rbc...@yahoo.com> it is not clear what the problem is at the beginning of the illness.
