My vet usually gives a 6-way.
Whats in that?
but the barn owner gave some of the horses a 7 way + rabies
Whats in a 7 way then?
What catalog do you order it from?
Answers:
If I am correct, I believe the 7-way shot includes the following:
*Eastern Encephalitis
*Western Encephalitis
*Venezualan Encephalitis
*Tetanus
*Influenza
*Rhinopneumanitis
*West Nile Virus
I am not 100% sure on this, though, but I think that is the combination. The vets around here stopped using it failry quickly because of the reactions the horses were having to getting all those things at once. There were allergic reactions, injection site abcesses, sore muscles -- nothing DIED, so it wasn't that bad, but it still was concerning enough to keep all of the vets in my area from using it any more.
i dont know about horse but that is what killed my pug on his yearly vaccines
there are 7 different vaccines in the same shot i'm not sure what they are. but i do know that only vets can administer the drugs
ok, in regards to the answer that was previously recieved, the pug probably reacted to the lepto in the vaccine, as far as horses go and there is no lepto in the vaccine. as far as reactions, longevity, and performance, it depends on the brand. it is a fairly good vaccine. if you are still worried about this you can look on a providers web site. try: pfiezer, or butler.
No matter what is in the shot, it's really not a good idea to hit any animal with 7 vaccines at the same time. It stresses the body, and a horse in less than optimum condition could react badly. It's better to do your vaccinations in two visits if you have a lot of them to do.
Amandal is correct!
multiple shots are common these days
