I got my wethers, 10 of them, about a week ago. they are really small. they average about 20 lbs. 2 of them were runts, I was paying $1 a lb. So I took them. They wieghed about 17 lbs.
I got the girl (19) that sold them to me, help me with some farm work, 2 or 3 days after I got the sheep. As soon as she saw them, she went to work on them.
3 of them, had maggots, where she was docking their tails, and where they had been castrated.
She took the water hose, on high stream, and washed the maggots out. What she couldnât get out with the water, she picked out. Then we put Peroxide on them and colloidal silver.
I remembered that when dad used to castrate pigs, he would use turpentine on them. So that evening, I went and got some turpentine. I could only catch one of them.
The next day, Katy, (the girl helping me) said the we should get some scarlet oil. So I did. And we put it on them. Also, I got some liquid Vitamins.
One liitle sheep died.
This morning I went out and there was maggots real bead on one of them. I sprayed the Scarlet oil right on the maggots. And they just started rolling out.
Then I washed them with the water hose. I think I got them all, I didnât pick them out.
And applied the Scarlet oil again.
Also gave vitamins. To one.
The Scarlet oil smells like turpentine to me.
What else can I do?
