Did I miss the party? Posts: 3864	How many is "all"? This surprises me as Merck vaccines are usually pretty smooth. Their adjuvant doesn't affect as many as other brands I've seen. If they're "all" affected, I'd say to have your vet report the lot number to Merck.

Did I miss the party? Posts: 3864	Some of the adjuvant reactions can be all over body/muscle soreness in general. Not limited to injection site. Usually lasts a day or two. Not saying that's what is happening to yours for sure but, it is a possibility they get sore in other areas.

JMHO Posts: 1869 Location: Oklahoma	I did this shot a few years ago and 4 of 7 horses had a reaction to it. 3 of them had a golf ball size knot with heat and the forth had a lot of swelling and heat that lasted about 2/3 weeks. Now I give the 5 way in one shot and WNile in a shot of it's own on the other side of the neck. No more problems since. I'll never give them together again!

Elite Veteran Posts: 865	I was trying to post video/pictures but it won't load. Anyone who wants to see please pm and I'll send. It's horrible and very graphic. Merck should be ashamed of selling this vaccine which is affecting so many horses.

boon Posts: 2	I just vaccinated 10 horses with this about 3 weeks ago. Not a single one had a reaction. I vaccinated 3 last year and didn't have any problems then either.
