| My mare always reacts to her vaccinations (rhino, flu, eee, wee,
vee, and tetanus). So, to keep her comfortable, I give her bute
twice a day for two or three days.
Since she consistently reacts, my vet gives the vaccinations in
her buttocks. That way her neck is not sore. And mild exercise
helps the stiffness.
She was vaccinated Friday, and with the help of bute and light exercise
she came through the weekend in fine shape.

| Stephanie,it may be too late to apply this,but when my horse
reacted that way to a Rhino shot,my vet had me force him to walk
for a couple of hours,and he was fine after that. This was the day
after the shot.

| 539.3 | same problem | GEMVAX::FISHER | | Mon Mar 28 1988 12:17 | 12 |
| My guy had the same problem this year. He always gets a reaction,
but this one was miserable. He couldn't move -- we couldn't force
him to move at all. We put Furacin/DSMO on the bump (vet said to)
and kept him buted. He got the shot on Monday and I couldn't ride
him till Thursday. He was 100% on Friday. There were only a couple
in the barn that reacted this bad and I was one of the lucky ones.
There wasn't much to do to keep him happy, but do put his hay in
a hay bale and keep it high so he can have free access without pain.
We also elevated the water buckets for the same reason.
Good luck

| 539.4 | Rhino might cause minor colic... | KEATON::FOX | A momentary lapse of reason... PF | Mon Mar 28 1988 13:20 | 5 |
| Just as a mention, some rhino vaccines may cause a minor case of
colic so keep an eye on the horse(s) for a few hours after they
receive their shots!

Hi! Don't have a real answer for you on his discomfort. Of course,
this kinda late since it is late August. However, one word of caution.
Horses have drowned from tube worming. It is a risk you take.
I realize this is a very effective way to worm, however............
What is an alternative for spring worming?????? Ask you vet about
Parapan (sp?) Paint. It's a sweet tasting paste that my horses
love to eat! And it's effective.
As far as your horse being in discomfort - how is he now? Has he
perked up? What are you feeding?? Any supplements? Is he stabled
alone? or does he have friends? How often do you use him?
I would have responded sooner but I just learned how to access this
file.
My name is Linda Noll and I work in the Westfield, Mass. facility.
I've been with the company 14 years. I've had several horses
throughout the past 32 years. We were a 4-H home as well as
involved in the show circuit for many years. I stopped showing
in 1968 but will show for the first time this Sunday (8/28).
I have a registered Morgan filly (1 year and 3 mos). I have entered
her in the Mass. Horsemans Council Yearling Competition opening
day of the Eastern States Expo. in West Spfld., Mass.. I also have
an appy. mare and a Morgan/Welsh cross gelding.
My good friend from Brimfield, Mass. is looking at buying property
in Worthington Ma. to open a bed and board for horseback riders.
I will be sending out a message if that comes about. (I'm crossing
my fingers - the place has an large old house that's been restored
-used to be an old inn- and a large old barn with some of the original
stalls restored - and had once been one of the early Morgan horse
farms in the area.
Well, as I said, hope your problem is resolved. But let me know
if it hasn't been and a little more info..
Nice talking to you via the mail.
