Strangles Vaccination

Hi all,

Pony had strangles vaccine for first time and reacted badly. When I found him he looked like he was sedated and couldn’t lift his head, very scary. Late night vet call out, high temp and raised heart rate but he was back to his usual self the next day.

In 2 minds about getting the 4 week booster. Pony is kept at home but we are very active in pony club so we do regularly get out and about.

Thoughts?!

Lots of side effects reported but if you’ve started you may as well finish. Do you have any events coming up. Those will likely need cancelled as people have reported poorer performance for a good couple of weeks or more so that’s a factor to consider.
