My doe is due December 18th and I have heard you are supposed to give CD&t 4-6 weeks before she kids. Can anyone point me in the right direction for doing this. Is it the anti-toxin? And also I will be giving some to my other doeling and wanted to know when to give her her booster. Also when my doe does kid when should I give them any kind of CD&t or vaccine?

We give the CDT yrly booster 10 -14 days before kidding. It is the 2cc CDT not the c & d antitoxin.
Kids don't get theirs till about 3 mos.

It's just the regular CD&T toxoid that you can get anywhere. This is her booster shot for the year.

For your doeling you would give one shot and then another 3 weeks later. I do a third shot 6 to 8 weeks later, most people don't do that.

For new kids, I do their first shots at 9 weeks and 12 weeks...Some do them earlier and some later.

Yep, it is CD&T(tetanus)toxoid

At 1 month prior to kidding.

For the Booster, it is 21 to 28 days later.
