Ok, so both goats have a lump at the injection site. We gave them their CDT vaccine about 10 days prior. Lump on muzzle appeared at the same time as other lumps, may be unrelated? Still trying to get a hold of the vet. Holiday weekend isn't the best time to find a vet for the first time...

I'm pretty sure my two 14 month old Nigerian dwarfs have CL. I don't know where they would have gotten it from unless they were born with it. They haven't gone anywhere and there are no other goats / sheep near here. It just showed up this week on both goats. Daisy has a lump on her muzzle...
