[RC] Northern CA, West Nile Virus - Renie M burnettWest Nile has made it up here; 1 horse dead, so far, in the county just south of ours,( Shasta Co.) and a couple dozen dead birds up here. A friend has asked me to e mail Ridecamp about her horse's possible reaction to the WN vaccine. She just bought this horse a month or so ago. The mare, quarterhorse, 4 yrs, healthy, etc. Was given her first shot on July 16th. Because the danger is so near now, her vet suggested giving the second shot at 3 weeks instead of the usual 6 weeks. Second shot was given Aug.3. Last night, this mare colicked, mostly tummy ache, and has had and continues to have diarrhea. Vet prescribed banamine. This horse was still colicky today, was bucking in place because of colic. Her vet also gave her some anitbiotics as she is suspecting the mare has an ulcer. Linda, the owner, and the vet, are baffled. Last call to Linda was late this a.m. and she said the horse was still uncomfortable and still had diarrhea. Any one ever have these problems after the WN vaccine and/or booster? Thanks.
