Sorry to hear about the CL though
Abscess was too hard to be cultured yet so waiting but we did also do a blood test so in the next week or so we'll have a blood test and a culture doneI have to ask, did you culture the cl abscess?
We have a doe that gets huge abscesses from cdt shots. She just super sensitive. Any IM shot ends up be a huge lump for months too.
She is I'm just in love with her! She will be my first full blood to be registered on my junior ABGAShes a cutey!
yeah sadly we know the test is going to come back positive we've had CL before on some does we first bought and it looked exactly the same honestly the blood test is just to see before it gets cultured the vet was 99% sure it is CL as we had him come lance another doe before when she was close to her due date he said watch the bump and as soon as it gets squishy he was going to come lance and testNice kids!
Remember that blood testing for CL is notoriously inaccurate. I really wouldn't cull a nice doe that you like without an abscess culture.
I've had a false positive blood test on a doe I hated, she was a pretty doe but just a nonstop problem child. I sent in another blood test but culled her before the results came back. They were negative. The new owners quarantined and had her tested twice also and both tests were negative. They didn't put her in with their herd until the abscess could be cultured, also negative.
no our friend is currently testing that out on her CL herd so seeing if that works for her as her doe had a bump the size of a soft ballHave you tried putting the Draxxin in the actual pus site? Not the blood stream.
Interesting I haven't seen that I have herd though of using it to get rid of CLThere was a long forum on TGS of a lady that used draxxin and cleared her doe of CL in 2 years.
Thank you! We are contacting our vet to see if we can get some we would love to keep this doe if it gets rid of her cL it just gets so frustrating when your best does get itHere is a link to the thread incase you are interested in it:https://www.thegoatspot.net/threads/cl-in-goats.215321/
