[Disease or Condition] CL (Caseous Lymphadenitis) [Possible Treatments] Isolate and remove animal from herd. Many breeders will get rid of animals with CL. Some breeders treat and manage CL by lancing and removing discharge and treating with iodine for several days, or injecting CL knot when it is appearent with Formalin 10% Buffered. Wear gloves and goggles and destroy all discharge. There are sheep vaccines such as Case-Bac or Caseous D-T, available that some goat producers will use as a preventative measure. There is a goat vaccine available through PHL Laboratories but it is costly (around $1 per shot) and results are only proven to be about 70% effective to prevent new infections. Colorado Serum is also working on a goat vaccine that is expected to be released in 2007. There is no cure for infected animals. [Symptoms]
