Re: [RC] Spring Shots - Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "k s swigart" <katswig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Am I the only person here who gives shots in the butt and not the neck? While I understand why some vets (who don't want to get their teeth kicked in by strange horses) use the neck. The butt has MUCH bigger muscles, fewer "other structures" (like no nuchal ligament) to hit by accident, and the but muscles get used more so the vaccine will purfuse to the tissue better. Kat, as I mentioned, I had all butt shots this year. One mare had such a bad reaction to the 5-way her butt was hard like a tie-up and she was reluctant to move . It took two days to move freely again. I had thought also, that they could "walk it off better", but am sure not convinced now Karen =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
