[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 143820, member: 852"] Bo-Se is a combination of Selenium and Vitamin E. Not a vaccination; it's a mineral/vitamin shot. It's usually used to prevent/treat "white muscle disease" aka selenium deficiency (sp) in calves. The similar shot - MuSe - is the same thing but higher selenium levels. That one is for mature animals only. Side effects. The main one is that a selenium overdose will kill your animal. If I remember right - I would have to check the label though - it has a 35 day slaughter withdrawal. No age restrictions. I use it on anything that looks "shaky" - with caution, of course. Calves that don't look well, don't act right, or are just getting over scours. Some areas have high selenium levels in the soil and so you wouldn't want to use BoSe. Others, like my area (not sure about yours; you're on the other side of the state) are very deficient and so you'd hit everything with BoSe. I don't usually use it on larger animals (note-if I gave a selenium shot to an adult animal it would be MuSe, not BoSe) esp not if they look fine. No need to risk an overdose. I wouldn't use it on "everything", just on ones that look like they need vitamins/minerals or you know are deficient/from an area with a low selenium soil content. If in question, I wouldn't give it.
