New Goat to the herd

[Sanhestar]

My 10 year old who is not doing well (losing weight and having trouble walking) got his yearly vaccinations a few weeks ago. He looked horrible and acted very sick for 2 days. I wish I had known about the stress the vaccines would add. In hind site I would never have let my vet vaccinate him.
I gave him apple juice with goat Nutri-drench with all the stress vitamins. He slurped it up. It seemed to help.

Cuzco reacted poorly to his annual CD+T vaccination for the first time this year. He didn't get as bad as it sounds like your poor fella did, but he was definitely off for a couple of days and wasn't eating well (very unlike Cuzco to not eat well!). I decided I'm not going to give him vaccinations any more. At his age something else is going to get him before enterotoxemia or tetanus, and years of vaccinating have to have built up a good store of antibodies for those diseases.

there are still ongoing studies on tetanus antibodies in horses that are now running for more than 10 years after immunization (without booster vaccination).

In dogs there are studies on distemper, parvo and hepatitis that show antibodies prevalent after immunization (again without boosters) for 6-8 years, often longer. Recent study on rabies goes into it's seventh year and shows protection against challenge for 4-5 years.
