Re: [Alpacasite] Re: Vaccinations

whenever we need to use the injectable A,D/E, we get the saline based formula which has to be mixed up at a compounding pharmacy. A little more trouble than the "off the shelf" stuff, but it is my understanding that most allergic reactions are due to the suspension agent (an oil) rather than to the medicine (whether AD/E or CD/T etc). ALpacas magazine had an article a few years ago on a farm that lost more than a few crias to anaphylactic shock after A,D/E shots. Also remember that an allergic reaction can occur up to an hour or two post dose! Keep the epi on hand after giving shots, and hang around for a while, watching those animals. Take care, Jane Levene
