And depression of the immune system by stress? Hence the suggestion not to give all vaccines to an imported horse at the same time. What was evident in her post was the suffering of the horse. If we haven't experienced summer eczema and how dreadful it can be for the horse, we have no idea and it's easy to be superficial about it. No matter what the percent is, 30, 50, or whatever, one horse with that type of suffering is too much. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
