I am sending this note to all horse owners that live in western wisc. There are 40 that are known by the local people because many horses have died but no blood tests were taken and there is no proof. The local vets are supossed to come out and do a blood test which the state has been paying for, but the vets will not come out when called ,because they say there is nothing we can do. The second one Im still waiting for the test results to come back on. I sugest that you have on hand the antidote for the vaccine just in case of an allergick reaction.
Reaction is the same as human, swelling of throat , inability to get oxygen into lungs.
There is no vaccine for this one. We plan to spend a month at the OK Corral in Apache Junction, then do some more travelling with our horses. If anyone has a truck and trailer and horses and wants to travel with us, you are welcome to join us. We have a sundowner trailer with living quarters and 2 horses, a standardbred and a Rocky Mt. horse. So much of horsemanship is learning the signals of horse language, and when neither you nor your mount don't know much then you need to rely on an experienced horse person.
