Exclamation forgot BoSe injection...this is a little urgent

Okay, I just came back from a vacation in florida. I was going over my records thia morning, double checking everything, injections, kidding dates.... Well, I just realized yukiko is due this thursday, and I havent given her a BoSe or Tetanus or wormed her or anything! I thought she was due much later, because she could have been bred later, but turns out I just wrote it the wrong place! She's not even big! Like one kid, which has never happened in my herd!

So do I give them to her now, with her due so soon? Or should I wait till after the kid/s is/are born and give it to them too? Or what? What to do?

She does have Selenium in her salt.... if that helps

I'd give her the Bo-Se today. It will be available to her as she is kidding.

Same with the CDT. At least she will be building her CDT immunities. Either way she needs her annual booster, so give it now and if she goes late, nothing lost.

If she kids early, you might want to give colostrum to the kids from a different doe
that was vaccinated at the right time. This way you don't have to give tetanus anti-toxin when disbudding etc.

Yes, then worm her soon after she kids. I worm right after the kids are settled in the first day. Thats when the worms party. I forget what they are called but they have a name with parturition in it cause thats when they really explode.
