    Re: [RC] rabies reaction - Celeste Comfort


    I had the same thing happen to my mare with spring
    shoots.  When we did fall shoots she seemed not quite
    herself the next day.  I thought that maybe it was to
    much it one day, so I decided to split the shoots up
    this spring to see which one was causing her to react.
        
    Did Flue Rhino, and nasal strangles, waited two weeks
    then did rabies.  After her rabies shoot the next day
    she look like she had the flue.  She couldn't even
    lift her head up.  She was walking like she was stiff
    all over.  Called the vet out, and she was treated
    with something I can't remember, but she felt much
    better the next day.   She also had a large swelling
    where she had gotten her shot.  Her reaction to the
    rabies shot was much worst the second time.  I'm not
    sure I want to risk a third.  Now I thought my vet
    only uses Beyer for shots, but I'm going to have to
    ask if it was Fort Dodge.  I hope I don't have the
    same thing happen when I do the WNV shots.  Now her
    history was that her shots were never really kept up
    to date until I bought her, so that might have
    something to do with it, but I'm very worried about
    giving her another rabies shot.
