Well, it's not like that down here. My vet is dropping anyone who
won't vaccinate. They no longer have her for a vet. She's that
emphatic on getting the West Nile vaccine.
These are confirmed cases in my area of Alberta that I know
of.
A mare with foal at side 2 months old tested positive...not
vaccinated
Mare is recovering fine did not develop bad symptoms, just a
little wobbly and a few tremors.
An older mare in foal ,vaccinated & boosted. Died
of complications.
A mare not vaccinated , I don't know the out
come.
A horse (no sex was posted) tested positive not vaccinated.
Horse was put down.
Older gelding tested positive , not vaccinated. Put
down.
If you can beleive it vets in the area were teling people
they did not need to vacinate this year.
Even the government put out a flyer telling people it would
not be bad.
Considering the number of horses that are in the
area it is a low number with WNV
Qick update on Sid. He is doing great. He has put on weight
, his wounds are healing and he is bossing arround the other horses when
having his outting.
He tires easy but is getting better everyday.
I am going to have the horse chiro out and then a massage.
He has sore bulges in his neck where he was supporting his body weight when he
went down in the trailer.
After everything we did to him he is even more friendly then
before if that was possible. Horses are so amazing
