After the incident yesterday with Ruger, we discovered four other horses having bad reactions to the vaccinations they received. Apache, Blade, Duke, and Charlie were all found to be stocked up in their legs. Duke was only stocked up on the back legs, but all the others experienced swelling in all four legs. Charlie also developed swelling at the injections sites on both sides of his neck. None of the horses lost their appetite or became sick, but Charlie developed a slight fever for a while. We're trying to determine if there is something wrong with the vaccine. We have never experienced anything like this.

Interesting. I have seen it once before on a friends horse. The vet who ended up treating the reaction was not the same one who did the vaccine. he wondered if perhaps the injection sight was not as clean as it should have been. But sounds to me like you have something a little more than that going on.
