[RC] WNV Study/symptoms - heidi sowardsUC Davis has a great website that has a video you can download to watch what the symptoms really look like. Very informative! Interesting thing is, the new vaccine that is being developed is being denied by Ft. Dodge. I talked to my vet's office about the new vaccine that will be released in the future and they talked to the Ft. Dodge rep. The rep. denied that it would be used for horses. She told my vet it would be for dogs. The Yahoo WNV board had a post from someone who was told by Ft. Dodge that the new vaccine was a hoax. However, the application to the Dept. of Ag. was also posted by Dr. Eleanor Kellon on that same board. Not sure why all the denial, except to keep people buying the current vaccine. And if the current vaccine is so great (90%) then why even make a new version? I've read about too many horses that were vaccinated that ended up with it. However, I've chosen to vaccinate, as the concensus appears to be that the vaccinated horses do tend to recuperate better, or so the posts make it seem. http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/ceh/wnv_info.html Heidi --- Ridecamp Guest <ridecamp-moderator@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: On Behalf Of Truman Prevatt The rates of treatments required for fully vaccinated and bootered horses my vet had last year leads one to believe that the vaccine is not anywhere near the 90% declared by the vaccine manufacturer. However, this virus is not necessarily new - it has been around for a long time in the middle east and southern Europe. This all makes one wonder what is going on. All I know is just because you have vaccinated, don't think you are completely protected - you are not. You still have to remain vigilant to the signs of WN and call your vet at the first sign and get treatment started ASAP.
