They vet was out to geld several horse colts. She gave them Excede and left enough for me to give them the second dose in 4 days.
I talked to the vet about the mini foal at that time, she looked at her, but she gave her no medication at that time. When I called a few days later to ask about the filly not being as perky as she was before, she told me to give the filly 1/4 cc. from the bottle of Excede she had left for the colts. I did. Since her neck was so small, I have the shot into the bigger muscle of her upper hind leg. There was no warning of a possible bad reaction, or I would not have give it. Being extra cautious, I did not give the full 1/4 cc. dose. The filly was 2 weeks old, doing well, fat, at least 20 pounds. The filly had been outside for the first time a few minutes that morning and she was trotting around, but not bucking and tearing around like she usually did, but when I caught her drinking water out of a dirty mud puddle, I caught her, rinsed out her mouth, and brought her back inside the barn. She then drank quite a bit of water out of the bucket, which was the first time she ever did that. I called the vet and we talked about the filly, She suggested I give the shot, and she was dead within the hour.
