Hi Dot,

Sometimes injecting a chemical into a horse, whether it be a vaccination or 
a medication, can set the horse up for an allergic reaction to something 
else.  I have a horse who has never had a problem with ticks.  RIGHT after 
a series of antibiotics shots he started developing raised swellings at 
every site that a tick attached, even if only briefly.  These hive-like 
bumps did not subside for weeks, some oozed fluids.  Steroids helped but 
there were more ticks here (Mariposa) than I have money for steroids.  I 
THINK winter has cured the problem but his spring coat looks funny, spots 
of thick grey hair on a background of thin grey hair so he looks grey where 
the black skin shows and has white spots where the hair is thick.
