Health » Horse country faces West Nile 'nightmare'
Sep 02, 2004

AP

Owner Mike Polder said Rowdy only had one of the two vaccination shots recommended to combat West Nile in horses. Two of his other horses, 4-year-old Spirit and 9-year-old Shercon, were not vaccinated at all and also became seriously ill.
"It was a nightmare," said Ingrid Encinas, Polder's wife, who nursed the horses back to health with massive doses of B vitamins and aspirin. Of her initial impression of the West Nile threat, she says: "Like a lot of things, I thought it was just a big hullabaloo."
