CDT and milking

[pygmybabies]

Can I still milk my goats, if I give them thier CDT vaccination? It says not to slaughter for 21 days but couldnt find the milk withdrawal info. We have had them a year now, and all were vaccinated last june with their booster dose. We did everyone yeaterday mamma kids and bucks. But didnt think about milk withdrawal until after all had been done.

Sold two of the kids yesterday, my first time, was kinda hard. Two of my favorites. Luckily just down the road a mile so I can check on them...lol

I would use the milk, no problem.

There is no milk withdrawal on any vaccination.

ok, thanks good to know, I let babies stay with moms last night and didnt milk this morning just in case

OK, when you are doing milk withdrawal for medications, you still have to milk the goat.

Yep, you need to get whatever is in the milk out of the system, so regular milking is a necessity. Usually if I have to dump milk it goes to the dogs.

I have been only milking in the morning and leaving babies with moms all day, with a new job I have I dont get back when they should be milked, an still trying to figure that all out. So the babies still nursed. I am here this evening so I will see what I can get out of them, even though babies have been with them all day except the boer, and I did milk her and muffin cause I am muffins baby.
So with milk withdrawal, do you still milk if babies are still on mom?

I milk even when dam raising regardless of whether or not I am keeping the milk. Most of my does produce more than their kids can drink.

Seriously? Dang it. I wondered why they were screaming so loudly.
Just kidding!
