The West Nile virus shot was with a combo of other shots. > He was a
young horse about six years old and beautiful but on the nervous
side like they can be, I had blood/spinal fluid pulled when he was
put down and he died of spinal meningitis which is a side affect of
the shots.
Fort Dodge shots. I contacted Fort Dodge and not a return call from
anyone.
This brings up another subject.....Vaccines. we do not give a lot of
vaccines, certainley not yearly like these MFGs want you to do. I
have been blasted by a couple of members about this
before.....everyone has to make up their own mind....but I hear of so
many horses, dogs (I have personally had 3 puppies die from
vaccines)and yes people have reactions, some very mild , all the way
to death.
Its a hard one. We do give vaccines, but never every year or close
to it....we do give tetnus, thats a big one in our area.
Of course we are not at a big barn, we are waaaay out and not around
a lot of other horses...it is always a personal decision, and one
that I can understand whichever way the decision is made. I just try
not to judge someone for giving them or not.
