I've always given my horse his vaccinations myself without any problems.
Recently, I read that sometimes a horse can go into anaphylactic shock after
receiving a vaccination. Then, epinephrin needs to be administered
immediately to save the animal.
How common is an anaphylactic reaction?
Do you all keep epinephrin on hand -- just in case? Can it be bought over the
counter?
I'm terrified, now, to give Gabe his next shot. What do you all recommend?
Thanks!!!!

slowly!)
