Hello all,
Well I can tell you west nile is rearing it's
ugly head here in North Dakota.Looks like the north and south have something in
common. Wish it were something else.
I have vaccinated all my horses. There are
27 cases at the local vet, last count, I heard Monday on the local news
there were 297 cases so far in the state. They don't give bird numbers, too many
I guess.As for the birds. I wonder too. What this will do to the
ducks and geese that fly though here every fall. A man brought 3 bags of
dead black birds into the vet office a week ago where my daughter worked, until
she was off to collage.
And we have atlas 6
weeks of bug season left. We are wishing, and praying for a early killing
frost.
Had a friend lose her horse last week, it
was a long fight .She treated her for 3 weeks and she just couldn't stand to see
her suffer any more,so put her down. Only a mile away.
Another friend just called last night her horse
come down on with WNV, Monday. Their are 4 miles away. She used vaccine!
Only first shot, one day before the boosted was due. My friend Barb is a vet(
she not working now, home schooling her kids). If theres no change by next
Monday she going to put him down too. He's pretty bad.
So it's getting more then a little worry some
here.
I'm sure the standing water has allot to do with who gets it
worse. And lets face it this part of North Dakota is a big pothole. I'm
thinking it is going to be a yearly thing here. Hopefully most horses will be
vaccined. And hopefully it will work. But with Barb's horse I'm stating to
worry.
On a happier note, could someone help me out.I'm
looking at a 6 year old gelding for sale. He's rescue, named Bema Lancer
#0533705. They say he's well bred, just wondering if some one could look
him up? I'm not sure he's what I'm looking for. I had my mine on a yearling, to
work with for a few years. But theres something about this horse, was looking at
adds and it just popped out at me.
Tami ( out to spray the horses
again)
Indie, Annie, and Billy( hey here she comes
again, and whats this about aonther
horse?)
