Tractor Supply had the antitoxin. It was pretty cheap too, like $4. I may go get a few more just to have it on hand. It was one dose per bottle so if I get 4, I'll have one for each goat.

I've never see n it at ours, infact I have 4 feed stores with in a 15 minute drive fromme and although they all have pretty big medicine shelves, not one carries the C&D antitoxin. So I was surprised you found it so easy. It for sure says antitoxin on it, right? how big was the dose? how much did you give her?

Our Tractor supply carries the antitoxin...

All our farm stores carry the anti-toxin, BUT you have to ask an employee for it AND you have to hope that employee has a clue as to what you are talking about. I was once told something wasnt available by the STORE MANAGER, but when I insisted, he let me go behind the counter and look on the shelf......it was sitting right there and he said "OH! I had wondered what that was! I had asked for the product by NAME and he still didnt know what I was talking about.

Our TSC has it in the refrigerated case.

That is so weird, we have really well stocked stores, 2 different co-ops, TSC and a farm choice, and I have never found it at one of them. I am going to have to look again. The one co-op carries a ton of stuff. They even had a brand of Bovi-serum at the one. So weird. I have been ordering mine from Jeffers.

The box is blue and the whole dose is only 5cc/ml so its a little box. Its one dose per bottle. Between that and the b complex from my vet, my baby girl turned around pretty quick.

I am following your thread avidly as I love my wee goats too.

i don't understand though: are the anti-toxins for bloat or is this a case of clover-poisoning as one person suggested?

what do you need the c and d antitoxin for?
thank you in advance

The anti-toxin is for overeating disease which has symptoms that often coincide with frothy bloat.
Treating what appears to be frothy bloat with both a bloat treatment and the anti-toxin for C&D is often a well thought practice.
