I'm always mystified at what works for some people and what DOESN'T for 
other <g>! For years I've given shots (literally hundreds) in the neck 
with very few problems. But I was scared by the WNV reactions being 
reported, so I decided to try the pectoral (chest) muscles that so many 
people liked. Now, I'm a nurse, so I (sort of) know how to give a 
shot...but 6 out of 6 developed big old lumps that took over  a week to 
resolve. Several of the horses struck out with their front feet as I 
stuck them as well....

So we're back to the neck...

But it's always good to hear new things and try them. When it comes to 
horses, you can't have too many things in your "bag of tricks."
