disappeared without treatment. Divide doses greater than 10 mL
between injection sites to reduce occasional discomfort or site

pain, sometimes intense but usually transient, has been seen in some
sheep. Adequate vaccination against clostridial infections in sheep is
recommended. Consult your veterinarian for advice on a vaccination
