Sheep and Ivermec Plus

Pony · #1 09/20/14, 08:29 PM

I posted in the sheep forum, but it's pretty quiet over there. Maybe someone here can help.

I'm going to dose the herd with preventive Ivermec Plus. Figure I better hit the flock, too. Can't find anything on dosing sheep prophylactically online.

ANyone have an idea about this? Same dose as for goats? Should I use panacur instead?

TIA!

Take a fecal sample to a vet and know what parasites you're dealing with. All you're going to do otherwise is increase parasite resistance to an already parasite resistant dewormer.

Meningeal worm outbreak. Not regular worm issue.

We always doesed at the same ratio ml:kg plus a "smidge extra" for the sheep.

No, I've got a couple other threads about the meningeal outbreak floating around.

No response to the sheep thread, but like I said, it's quiet over there.

Thanks, Alice and cfuhrer. I'll go ahead and dose the sheep.

What I am dealing with can't be diagnosed through a fecal. I forgot to mention that we're dealing with meningeal in my herd queen, and I want to make sure that the other goats and the sheep are protected.
