We'll be doing toxovax this year. Sounds complicated with having to mix it??
Enzo and Toxo vaccinations?

No more complicated than mixing some of the cattle vaccines for ibr, pneumonia. As said above make sure you allow for it being very short dated when it arrives and then once mixed it needs using pretty quickly too.

I know one man, cleans his lambing pens out and spreads it all on the fields where his replacement gimmers are. Reckons that is his vaccination 
. He said that a vet told him to do it years ago, and he’s done it ever since .

It`s just a matter of reading the instructions carefully, once you master it the jobs ok. Don`t try the "mixing" job outside in wind or rain - best if you`ve a house or building handy to nip in to every time you need to change the bottle.
Thats what I was thinking whilst reading this,did ours in April when they came back from wintering no idea of price.

As I understand they only get toxo once then immune, I have a couple of gimmers abort each year and just leave it at that, main flock then get on fine.

Gimmers done and it wasn't as bad as we were expecting, the mixing spikey thing works great. We got an injector that has a spring loaded needle guard. Not prone to sticking ourselves, but if we did, odds are it would be with the worst med. Did a major equipment wash-down afterwards.
Those prices seem cheap
Got mine for £8.50 for both jabs, 100 doses of each and they threw in a free injector gun which was a nice surprise!

My vets are £3.70-80p for Enzo/Ceva and the last time I asked about Toxo they were close to £7
Old vets were £1 cheaper the year we had to switch - and they used to give a me a free injector every year!
I think it`s about what I`m going to have to pay BUT a neighbour got a quote from his vet and I think it was sub £9 for both so lets not say cheap!Those prices seem cheap

My thinking was acceptable rather than cheap !Those prices seem cheap
Its an insurance that I don't want to do away with,

Just had an invoice for 60 doses for dry run shearlings.
Toxo £5.85
Enzo £3.06
An expensive job, but last year we couldn't get Toxo and had about 10 geld shearlings, nearly all tested +ve for Toxo, so if they only had singles the jab is still worthwhile.

Just paid £5.40/dose for toxo.
That Enzo seems cheap. We paid almost £3 for 420 doses. Are you sure that’s not per ml?

He’s in NI. There are some very competitive suppliers over there.
