Re: vaccination reactions

[Amanda Perez <amandaperez@ureach.com>]

  I don't know if it was tying up or not, but many years ago I 
had a horse react to a flu shot (i think it was the flu): he 
got a large swollen area at the injection site (about 6 inches 
across), and was extremely lethagic and obviously not feeling 
well.  At one oit he was leaning his rump against the wall so 
as not to have to support his full weight.  It passed in a day 
or two: as I recall, i think the vet gave him a shot of an ani-
inflamatory, but I could be wrong (this was about 25 years ago).
I do remember the vet said that reactions to this shot were not 
that uncommon.
