Just because something never happened before, don’t get to comfortable.

Desert could never have an additional shot given with his Rabies. He would run a temperature. All my other horses breeze through their shots. For the last 57 years I might add.

Since Desert had a problem I stopped giving combination shots, except EWT. Why tempt the shot gods?

So it was time for everyone to get their Flu Internasel. They’ve all had it before, they didn’t like getting this thing sprayed up there nose, but never a reaction. That is until this last time.

Walked out to feed the next morning and there was Friday (of course) with neon yellow snot coming out. Now I’ve seen discharges forever, yellow yes, but never neon yellow. No temp, good appetite, but yellow gunk out of both nostrils.

No big deal. Put her on SMZ’s for 5 days and it was gone. It could have been a sinus infection, it could have been a bad tooth, but what it was, was just a reaction (so far).

So even if your horse has never had a reaction before, always be on the lookout for something odd. Sometimes a bad reaction could be life threatening. We know that they always try to improve on everything, but sometimes a horses system just doesn’t like the new and improved version.

I’m not going to be the lab rat for the Covid injection, so let me know, if you are, and how it works out for you.
