Title: Vaccination reaction
You can hot pack it a few times a day if they’ll let you
(actually ideal would be fifteen minutes of warm followed by fifteen minutes nothing,
then fifteen minutes of cold, and repeat ad infinitum), and give them a little
bute for a day or so. Exercise will help a little in that it increases
overall circulation, and thus relieve swelling to some extent but anything
short of fourth level dressage moves won’t do much to exercise those neck
muscles directly.
Good luck.

Two of my mares received
their vaccinations on Friday and now they both have a huge swollen area on the
neck where the shot was given. I’ve never experienced this before
with shots– any
suggestions as to what I should do?
