For instance, I have had penicillin products used on most of my animals at one time or another. My good show mare, Moonlight, stepped on a nail last spring and punctured her hoof. We put her on procaine penicillin, something I had used with other horses on many occasions over my years with my own horses or horses in the barns I worked with. Well, she had an allergic reaction which was truly horrible (think, horse collapsed in field, unable to ride, entire neck and chest inflamed and swollen). So, we use SMZs on her now when we need an antibiotic. However, I used up the rest of the procaine penicillin on another of my horses a few months later with the good results we hope for from such antibiotics. Best wishes for continued return to health for your girl. Eileen Morgan The Mare's Nest http://www.enter.net/~edlehman --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
