Vaccine questions?

Elevan (Emily) has such a good way of putting things.

I say "ditto" to everything she said.

Thank you.

I read and reread my post several times before hitting submit...afraid that I might say something to offend someone or start a war about herbal vs medical.

My question was inquisitive. Out of curiosity and desire to learn more.
I wanted to know what other people opinions are on a given subject.
Personally Im not against either one and using both.
I appreciate and thank you for any imputs.

I completely understand. It's just one of those topics that some people will wage war about. I tried to do my best to answer in an objective way.

I vaccinate because I never want to deal with an animal falling to one of those nasty diseases.

But everyone needs to decide for themselves.

Well we are done with the vet today.... sadly the vet would not give me any epi. :/ She was sure that I would never need it. Said she had never seen a goat have a bad reaction.... I sure was nervous when she pulled out the penicillin!!!!

Both of my kids had to get disbudded a second time...she gave them penicillin injections & they got another CDT vaccine... .Luckily no bad reaction! I did the CDT myself and had the Primatene Mist ready. Its been about an hour & both kids seem fine

Quite frankly I'd look for a second vet...one who will give you the epi. There are plenty of members on here who utilize 2 or 3 vets so that they can get what they need.

I've not used an actual "goat vet" yet, as I've not needed one. Yes, there are two in my area, so I am fortunate. I should probably just have one out to do a wellness check and establish a relationship with them.

For now, my dog/cat vet is my drug supplier. All they ever say to me when I pick up the "stash" is that I don't know WHERE I got it should I ever be questioned! I guess this make me a goat junkie.
