When I bought my horse he was 9. The first year the vet came out to do his rabies vaccine. 12 hrs later Thunder spiked a fever and went down hard. Called the vet back out.

When I bought my horse he was 9. The first year the vet came out to do his rabies vaccine. 12 hrs later Thunder spiked a fever and went down hard. Called the vet back out. Asked if it had anything to do with the vaccine. He assured me it DID NOT have anything to do with the rabies vaccine. This happened a few more years in a row. Vet began to pre-treat Thunder with meds so he could "better tolerate" his rabies shot. I learned about titers. Asked for the test. Vet mocked my concern. Found a new vet who did the test. Fully vaccinated is .5. Thunder's number came back 2.9. Never gave him another shot. The new vet does a shot-free wellness check once a year. Thunder's 19 now and very healthy. Thank goodness I found an honest vet who admits the harms of shots!
