so sorry to hear about your losses Roxy  :bouquet:

it does sound like a certain level of ignorance (probably the wrong word) on your vets part but if its something they don't encounter then I suppose it's understandable. Never dismiss the wisdom of an old farmer, they know more than they let on.
I know my vets practice must think I'm a nightmare, I'm forever asking questions and to be fair they will go and find out if they don't know the answer

So sorry for your trouble  :hug:  :goat: :hug: I think your idea of getting together with others to share vaccine is excellent. I would be up for that. Could call it a Daisy Chain and if all 30 doses could be used it would only be £3.30 each. Well worth it I would say.   :bouquet:

wouldn't that be great? At least her death wouldn't have been for nothing, it could be her legacy  :goat:

Its a once in a lifetime vaccine, one shot wonder and job done  :thumbsup:

After a bit of reading, it seems this really could be possible as the vaccine is good for two weeks at 4 degrees. So not as time sensitive as Heptavac, for instance. I wonder if any of the goaty  societies have thought about it.

thanks Scarlet.Dragon, I know Suzanne already  :thumbsup:

and as I said I vaccinated our herd as soon as we knew what we were dealing with and I encourage others to do the same.
