You can usually find CDT at TSC and administer it yourself. I get my CDT from either TSC or PBS Livestock. I'm sure you can find it at other feed stores and goat supply places too.

Awesome thanks, I'll check the co-op tomorrow and TSC on saturday.
How much can I expect to pay for it? I'm just curious. Is it administered subcutaneously? I assume so. I was reading on Fias Co Farm's website that most all Intramuscular shots for goats can actually be given subcutaneously as well.

Yes, you can administer Sub Q. A 10 dose vial costs around $5 maybe. Can't remember off hand, but it's not expensive.

Yes, here, the bottle is about $7.00 for the Bar Vac brand CD/T.
Most vets will do it.
I give this shot IM (it's know to leave lumps), but you can give it SQ if that is how you feel most comfortable.
They get 1 shot every 21 days for a total of 3 to begin with. Then you booster every 6 months.

I've also been speaking to a breeder of pygmies and myotonic goats who swears by not vaccinating but since we get a lot of foot traffic around here, I think vaccinating might be a good idea.
I think I found it at my local feedstore the CD/T vaccine. They at first didn't think they carried it and to look at the vets but some smart person decided to look in the cold storage drawer and there it was.
I'm used to giving SQ shots, we used to breed Shihpoo's and back then you could pick up dog shots at the TSC out west (not in Ontario for some reason) and we used to get it shipped in and I'd give the SQ first puppy shots because my mum was too wimpy LOL.
Anyway, this is what they had at the co-op. From what I can tell it is the same, but according to the packaging for "Cattle and Sheep" ... They don't carry anything specifically for goats, but I know a lot of sheep things can be given to goats too.

I've been basically using the Bar-Vac CD/T and the last time I got some at TSC, they had Goat-Vac CD/T. Didn't even know until then that they made it.
