Please help me! I really like this forum but I am having trouble figuring out out to work it! I am not sure how to reply to someone's reply to my post. Can you help! Some how tonight I could not even find where to open a new post! LOL! I am only 38yrs old but I think my brain is aging alot...

I don't know about those diseases! But when our calf contracted it, the vet said it was Tetnanus and the goats had the same symptoms. Laying on ground rigid but alive, not able to move or stand.

So sorry to hear that! Each one is special! I always feel so responsible for every one of my animals!

I am just very scared of waiting a week or two. I have had three babies to get tetnanus and it seems to happen within the first two or three days. We have had goats and calves to get tetnanus! It is scary!

I have a nanny that had twins today and I had not given her the CDT shot to protect to the baby. I have tetnanus in the ground and I am afraid to wait two weeks to give babies the shot. Can I give it them at one day old?

I have put up that 2in white poly tape electric fence from Tractor Supply! That keeps my goats and donkey out of my garden! It only took one time and they don't come within 3 ft of the electric fence. I like the 2in tape because I think they see it better and know it is there. We only ran 2...

So will the Anti-toxin actuallt cure the tetanus? I was told a few years ago that there was nothing to cure it! If it will cure the goat, that is a relief! I still plan to do all I can to keep my animals and children safe from getting it!

I am not sure I understand about the C&D antitoxin negating previously given CD/T vaccines? What is the difference? I want to get this right because we have tetnus in our ground and have baby goats and a calf to die with it! Any you are right it is a horrible death. We put ours down as soon as...

Thanks for your info also! It is very helpful! You all made me feel so welcome on this forum!

I got the donkeys after I got the goats! I hope this baby will be alright! The tetnus scares me so bad since are other episode! It makes me want to pack up and move but I guess there is a chance of tetnus where ever you go!

Thanks! I will give Mom her booster! I do not have any horses at this time and have not had any at this barn in about 5 yrs. I do have a mini donkey but she is in a different pasture with the billy and a few nannies! You are so nice for the advice! I am still trying to figure the website out...

My name is Jennifer and I am just starting off with Goats. I have a doe that is due anytime now. She had never had a CDT shot so I gave her first one in March thinking she was due in April. But she still has not had the baby. Should I still wait to give both Mama and Baby their boosters...
