I don't like rhinoflu vaccine for my horse, I insist on intranasal, against vet recommendations

Been using them for the last 4-5 years!

Have to trust hr vet. That's why I go to her/him.

if they didn't sneeze it back into my face, I'd be convinced, just another fancy $$ for drug co's

Studies found that the shot works better for Flu Rhino. I used to use the IN & my horse hated!

Prefer it to old method. My horses are good with it; have seen others refusing to cooperate.
8/24/2011 12:58:21 PM
That is an old isn't it? Prefer more current strains

Would like to see an independent study evaluating the effectiveness before making a decision.
8/24/2011 11:32:07 AM
Would need to see some cost/benefit analysis as part of the process
8/24/2011 8:50:20 AM
my horses always get this vaccine
8/24/2011 7:50:42 AM
My horse gets extremely sore from the flu vaccine that I would be willing to try it
8/23/2011 9:55:55 PM
i think many companies should focus on better safer vaccines rather than constantly trying to up one
8/23/2011 9:02:08 PM
My horse is extremely sensitive to nasal invasion - would be a big safety issue
8/23/2011 6:32:09 PM
only in cases needing immediate protection
8/23/2011 6:01:41 PM
My boys already had one!
8/23/2011 5:08:29 PM
Vet has used IN vaccine the past, now uses IM injection
8/23/2011 4:53:40 PM
It probably saved our horse's life, too.
8/23/2011 4:29:43 PM
I have a great vet, so if he recommended something I'd be willing to try it.
8/23/2011 4:17:49 PM
Yearly vaccines are killing our horses immune systems! Please do some homework!!
8/23/2011 4:05:42 PM
My mare has bad reactions to intramuscular vaccination so my vet suggested IN.
8/23/2011 4:01:14 PM
My last vet used those, my current does not.
8/23/2011 3:33:32 PM
No, and probably would not use.
8/23/2011 3:16:48 PM
Recommended, yes. Actually used, no.
8/23/2011 3:16:13 PM
Our strangles vaccine is IN.
8/23/2011 2:53:00 PM
I request IN for my horses; especially for the one who HATES needles =<
8/23/2011 1:21:45 PM
My vet is an equine only specialist and uses injectable
