EHD and Covexin-8 vaccines

Vaccinated my yearling doe last week (in that terrible IL heat! yes... we had no choice)... Two sub-Q shots above her shoulder blade. She didn't flinch. For two to three days she was lethargic and had a poor appetite. Now she is back and eating up everything (thank Goodness) in sight!



Is this normal? Vaccination time always worries me...

She is perfect! Back to normal! Eating up a storm! Thank goodness the crazy temps of 100+ have subsided, and the rain came to cool us all off! Thanks for your good advice guys!

What a guy! Thanks so much Dr. Joe!!! Hope you are having a great summer.

Thanks Scott. Last year, at 12 weeks, the doe fawn's reaction was exactly the same. I also knew this year, without taking the yearling doe's temp that she had a fever b/c her nose was not as wet as usual, and she slept a lot. Her breathing however was normal, her pellets perfect (although I noticed a bit of mucus) and her eyes were clear and she was drinking enough although much more slowly than usual. I worried that perhaps her glands might be swollen, and they did not seem to be too bad. Rosa is ok now, but I can still feel the lumps under her skin where I gave her the shots. I keep trying to rub them down, but it's slow going. It has been over a week now. Thanks Scott.

Dr. Clifford Shipley at the Univ. of Illinois sends out these EHD vaccines, and the Covexin-8 as well.
