thunderbaby703 · 06-20-2008, 11:48 PM

I wonder if she meant sprayed (flyspray)?

cameo05 · 06-21-2008, 05:45 AM

oops my bad.. It is sprayed.. We have gotten those sprayers from Jeffers.The fogger type deals and have them put up everywhere.

Scary. I have a REALLY dumb question. What is the vaccine called for it? I mostly just rely on my vet, I tell him I want them vaccinated for "everything" and he comes and does it. I have a list of what they are vaccinated for, but I don't know what they all stand for.

Carri.. I order usually the 6/1 it has the eastern, western,and venasuelan strains of the EE.. I normally give this shot 2x year, but they are getting a booster again. The last shot mine got was 02/29/08 so I will bump mine to 3 times this year.

Carri · 06-21-2008, 06:52 AM

Ok, good, mine got that at the end of March. Whew! Not that it will completely prevent them from getting it, but it should help, right?

cameo05 · 06-21-2008, 06:54 AM

Yes it will help.... Mine were at the end of Feb, but getting it again. Just ask your vet what they think. Mine says that it can't hurt to give it again.. My shots sould be here monday....
