How do I use syringe for CD & T vaccination?

...congratulations...But if you knew goat medicine you would know there are very few drugs that should be given IM...and then only if you have epinephrine ready to combat anaphylactic reactions...Certainly CD/T wouldn't be given any way except Sub Q...see the OP title

I never said to give CD/T IM, I just was commenting on your post about IM injections. Good grief.

Lutalyse and banamine go IM around here, as would epi if necessary.. Otherewise, it's all SQ.

We considered using Essential 3+T because it's labeled for IM and a lot of folks use it IM to avoid the occasional sterile abcess you get with SQ vaccines.

The fact that IM vaccines tend to run a higher risk for anaphylaxis and the fact that we actually don't really care about the occasional sterile abscess turned us off the idea. Not worth it.. So, SQ it is for vaccines as well..


BTW...nothing bugs worse than when vets tell newbies to IM their goats with PenG...
