[RC] Vaccinations - Lynda K ThompsonI have always given the spring 5 way shot in the neck and never had any problems until last year with a new horse. He became severely swollen and very sick. He could barely lift his head. So, fast forward to this year and I decided to take them to the vet to have it done to rule out anything I might have done wrong. I told the vet what happened last year to the new guy and asked him to give them in the butt(down the back a little bit). He did and the horses got WNV in one side and the 5-way in the other side. To make a long story short both of the horses could hardly walk about 1 1/2 days after the shots on the WNV side. I did give bute and they were fine in 2-3 days. So, I will probably go back to giving shots myself and stick with the neck.
