DITTO ON THIS ONE!!! From my point of view, the only statastics
are from the vets that see horses who are sick enough the owners take them
to the vet. What about all the horses who only show suttle signs of
being sick and are never seen by vets? The numbers and statistics I
see are so inaccurate it's blatant! Unless everyone took their
horses in and had them ALL tested for west niles to see who has the
antibodies is the only way a "somewhat accurate" analysis could
be published.
Hi. I have two horses and both of them had a reaction
to a five way shot that was given by myself. They both had fevers of
103, hard time eating hay on the floor (I always give them in the neck
and the butt and this one was given in the neck), acted like they were
drunk while walking and had the shakes. I called the vet, gave them bute
and he gave them cortizone and anti-inflammatories in shot form. They
were fine the next day but scared the crap out of me. Especially since I
had just attended a West Nile information seminar a few nights before
that happened. I called the company that made the vaccine and they
were VERY interested in taking my information and appreciated the fact I
reported it. I recommend reporting it. Mine didn't because he'd seen a
lot of cases this year, same symptoms.
