If the vectors will always be at the same locations, then you can use the set_UVC method to update the vector data; this should make it possible to use one of the animation techniques for which examples are given in the examples/animation subdirectory of the mpl source distribution. (The examples subdirectory of the source is generally a better source of up-to-date examples than the cookbook.) I haven't tried it, though, and I don't know of any example specific to quiver. Depending on your use case, you may find it more desirable to save a set of single frames and then display them as a movie or animated gif. A movie-making example is included in examples/animation.
