I am preparing to vaccinate my lambs (1 week old) with Clostridium Prefringens types C & D Tetanus Toxoid. The label says 2ml subcu. for sheep. Is this the same dosage for lambs? Also, what is the recommended dosage of selenium and Vit E?

Yes, the 2ml is for any size of sheep. Most people I know do the vaccine at 30 days of age due to the assumption that a newborn does not have the ability to develop the antibodies and is protected by the ewe's antibodies at that point anyway.

We do not sell Selenium so I do not have a bottle to check the label for dosages.

Vitamin E comes in varying strengths so I hesitate to make a recommendation. The correct dosage should be on the bottle's label.
