Re: [AlpacaTalk] CDT shots for late term girls
Hello Wendy,
First and foremost, I'd suggest working with your vet. My experience: We gave CDT to 15 female alpacas at this stage of pregnancy many years ago and a couple days later, most of them aborted. My vet said it could have been the CDT, could have been a "bad batch" of CDT or perhaps just the stress of catching them up and giving them the shots. He couldn't say but since then, we haven't given CDT to pregnant females and wait until after they deliver. I'm not a vet but this was my experience and I can't even say for certain if that was the cause....but as for me, we don't risk it at our farm. Hopefully others will share their experiences as well.

Hi Wendy,
I would wait if they were my girls. The only time I would give that shot to
pregnant girls would be if there was a problem, like a foot infection,
mainly for the tetnus.
As it has been known to cause abortion.
