There are alternatives, but the issue is that getting a vaccine here is hard
and requires a bunch of paperwork, and local dealer here only carries this one.
Actually, the one I use is supposed to be the less aggressive and have the
least side effects.

The stab goes in the neck. The problem is that I think she has a sore neck and
pain is irradiating to her shoulder, which is why she has a bit of trouble
walking.

She is getting extra apples, and that seems to be helping her mood. THe only
issue is I cannot stay around her all day. I have to leave a bunch of days per
week for job and leave my parents taking care of the horses, and they don't do
much of a great job at that.
