[Alpacasite] Re: Adverse reactions in cria to CDT shot

Cathy

The short answer to why a cria is given a CD&T shot so young is that
even though the cria's immune system can't produce significant
amounts of antibodies it can still learn to recognize "not self".
Think of early CD&T shots as priming the pump.

Reactions to vaccines can happen at any age. In our own herd when an
alpaca (at any age) has a reaction to a vaccine, it the last shot of
that vaccine that the alpaca gets.
