Animal Health
The vaccine commonly known as “CDT” or “CD&T” is a vaccination for Clostridium perfringenstype C + D and tetanus. We will vaccinate for this every 30 days at a cost of $1 per dosage.
Goats are very susceptible to internal parasites. It is recommended to de-worm your goat when you first get it and establish a de-worming program every 21 days at a cost of $1 per dosage.
A fee of $10 will be applied for ALL goats/lambs that want to be included in this rotation. All other medical fees will be based on individual circumstances.
