"There can
be bad side effects to given the tetanus antitoxin to the newborn
which don't show up for 2 years--- disheartening. Good luck with your
mare Bette
Since I have a
mare ready to foal anytime now , the breeder actually told me she was due in
late aug. or early sept. but I now believe she fibbed to me thinking I would not
take the mare if I knew she was foaling this late in the year . What bad side
effects are you refering to ? I am nervous as it is anyway as the mare had been
given no WN shot so I sweated out that season using tons of fly spray :-) and
then since I was told she was due to foal months ago I did all my shots then , I
do have a tetanus shot on hand to give to the foal asap . And this morning we
woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground with the temps dropping all day
long . I am going to be a nervous wreck before this foal comes
!
