That crossed my mind, too. I'm so glad she's ok.

Where do you get your anti-toxin?

I buy it at Southern States - but I want the CD Anti-Toxin, which I have to order at Jeffers or Livestock Supply

Just a note for everyone:

CDT toxoid is the vaccine.
C&D anti-toxin is for emergency situations - like clostridium/enterotoxemia or poisoning.

Do NOT give both CDT and anti-toxin at the same time - there is a long explanation, but basically they cancel each other out.

Glad you trusted your gut and went with the thiamine and anti-toxin. Good job!

Yep - I did not even know they had it in anti toxin until too late - I'd recommend everyone keep it on hand now

Jeffers is backordered, but I found some at American Livestock.

I always have the anti-toxin in the fridge. I got mine from the vet but I believe TSC sells it as well. Came in handy late last summer when 2 of my girls ate that bush I think made them sick.

My TSC doesn't sell the CD Antitoxin, just Tet antitoxin
