Pregnant does get their CD&T shot 2 to 4 weeks before kidding. Kids of a vaccinated doe get their first CD&T by 6 to 8 weeks of age and a booster 3 to 4 weeks later; kids of a doe that was not vaccinated start at 3 to 4 weeks.
When, never how much: the dose and the product are your vet’s and the label’s. Your vet’s plan wins.
