Re: [RC] WNV - Mary Sutliff

We vaccinated our five horses for WNV last fall. After the second shot
one of the horses had what I consider a serious reaction.  On the day
following the shot he had a large abcess on his neck.  This was treated
with cold and hot packs and bute for the pain.  While the abcess went
down it internalized and this horses neck was very stilff for over two
months.  He was not able to be ridden for almost three months.  During
that time the horse was very uncomfortable and was seen and treated by
our vet many times.  Needless to say this horse did not get the
WNV  last week when the others got theirs.  Anyone else have an
experince like this and if so what did you decide to do about future WNV
vaccination?  We're in Western Washington where so far the risk is low.
