thanks for the heads up on this.  last month my Vet used FD vaccine 
(4-Way) and had major reactions in 4 horses at one stable.  the reason I 
know this to be true is the fact that we were shipping or stallion to a 
trainer and i wanted him to be vaccinated, etc. during the coggins pull 
and health check.  Well, my Vet told me that he ordered new vaccine, 
spoke about the reactions, etc. said that he's not using FD products any 
longer because of this.  And to stop by his office later that week when 
his new vaccine from another company would be in.  Scary - I did ask 
what reactions those horses suffered, and he said severe reactions - 
were swelling from the neck all the way down to the hoof.  Treated the 
reactions with banamine for pain.  All 4 horses recovered from what I 
heard.  We know use the generic banamine from PHOENIX too, no more FD 
generic banamine, it's cheaper too, paid 74.00 for the last 250 cc 
bottle.  FD used to have a good reputation - so I thought.  Their reps 
were usually at our Vet's yearly health dinner too, but I don't think 
they'll be here this year for that.

I can tell you after sleeping in a tent, then in my truck, then in the back
of a trailer, then in a gneck trailer w/no LQ, and now in the new-to-me LQ
one, you don't sleep any better the night before in nicer digs - you're
just more comfortable while you're lying there obsessing :)
