[RC] Vaccinations Reations - Roger RittenhouseHello Ridecamp, Well I see I am not the only one with problems due to the FT DODGE vac. I should know better, but I bought the EWE/Tet vac from my vet this time. INSTEAD of going to Jeffers and getting the INVERVET brand. I gave the shot on SAT.. I do not ever give the 5 way.. or any flu .. I normally never give the EWE with Tetanus but my vet said that the Ft Dodge carrier was improved.. yeah right. 5 out of 6 horses with fluid in the pectals.. at least I did not give it in the neck. One shows no reaction, one is just a small area about lemon size and the others are baseball to orange size soft filled areas. My mare has it down lower in the tissue.. it sort of moved today..very full but not hard. All are still eating and moving well. But the sites and swelling area are hot and sore. I will call him tomorrow and discuss.. Problem is we leave WED for AERC.. So I assume a good abscess could form? May require a lancing? I had problems with Ft Dodge before - very sore and filled neck area. So this time I felt all would be ok with the pectal area. WRONG! I have given the West Nile - from FTD and had no problems. Also did the EPM from FTD and had no problems I sure hope things look better tomorrow.. I will not do this again next year..I will use ANY other mfgr BUT FORT DODGE -- Roger mailto:roger@xxxxxxxxxxx ============================================================ Why should I look good if I don`t smell good? ~ author unknown ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
