I haven't read your other post yet.. why do you think you have CL in your herd?

there are labs that do testing

you can put puss from the abcess in a ziplock bag and take it to your vet

yikes, bad advice.
if there is an abscess and needs to be tested, the whole abscess needs to be removed without opening it. much better way to prevent contamination. cl is a zoonotic disease. means, humans can get it too.
that is not something you just put in a ziploc bac. is that info you get from TGM?

you can send blood for testing here.

call them if you have questions. they will give more reliable answers than you will get on the internet
