I have a question about vaccinations. In the past I have used the C and D Tetanus but now I find there is also a Caseous-DT. (It's been a while since we've had goats) Can I use both vaccines?

The Caseous-DT is used in sheep to prevent Caseous lymphadenitis, some people do use it on goats. It is missing the "C" which is another strain of the bacteria that can cause enterotoxemia. Personally I would use the CDT and then see if you can find the vaccine for goats that is specifically for CL, if you are worried about that. If you have a clean herd and don't show I wouldn't worry too much about CL.

Jeffers sells the CL vaccine for goats, but it is restricted is some states. Indiana is one of them :rolleyes:
