Yes Kristi and I just found out that I can
administer my own WNV vaccine! So I'm picking mine up this week (fortunately I
have only one horse). We attend rides in the NW that have horses from all over
sometimes.

give you vaccines you can give yourself if they have seen your horse within last
6 mos.)

I think it must be
human nature to not feel something
is "real" till it hits close to home. I
sure didn't
think much about the 700+ horses in the eastern US
that got
WNV in 2001. Now that I have a horse
recovering from it, and 3 sad friends
whose horses all
lost the WNV battle within the last few weeks,
it's
VERY real to me. Those of you on the west coast, let
what's
happening in the upper midwest (and the south)
be your warning. WNV is
HERE. As of Sept 8th, 3453
equine WNV cases have been reported to the USDA
for
2002. Of that 3453, 32% (1093) were reported just in
the last WEEK.
That's a remarkable surge; hopefully
the numbers will go down soon.
Nebraska has been hit
the worst, with almost 600 cases, and many
other
states, including the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa
aren't far
behind.
