Is it just me or do your cattle get a lump the day after vaccination, at the injection site? I just vaccinated with Cavalry 9 about 3 days ago, and my cattle always have a little lump after. Is there any was to avoid this or is it normal? I am new to Sub-Q vaccines. I have always done our horses vaccines which are IM (and a lot easier in my opinion). Is it ok to give cattle vaccines IM? Or follow label for Sub-Q?
Also, is it possible to overdose when vaccinating? Let me give some back story. Went to vaccinate a 6 month old calf, and she jumped pretty good when vaccinating, and I knew I didn't get the whole dose in her. I gave another CC just to be sure she got a full dose. She's totally fine and acting normal but I've heard of people accidentally dosing more of the vaccine than directed by the bottle and had no issues.
Thanks!
