Hi shep
The vet said that it does both fluke and worm which for now i'm just going to go with as i hope he knows what he is doing.

ENDOSPEC I hope you noticed has 2 dose rates 1 for worms @ 1ml per 20 kg and 1 for fluke @ 3ml per 40kg so I hope you gave your zw ewe lambs at least 5ml preferably 6ml . Endospec kills adult fluke and fluke eggs and at this time of year immature fluke are the ones that cause damage , so really wouldn't be a product I would use . Have you looked at EBLEX BETTER RETURNS a large amount of information on all aspects of sheep keeping

Or have a nosey at SCOPS (sustainable control of parasites in sheep) http://www.scops.org.uk/

Dosing with a number of products all at once may not be wise, not sure how they interact with each other.

Shep53, how much and how often do you give pepto bismol? I gave about 20ml at lunch and same tonight. Is that enough or too much? Lamb still alive so guessing not too much!

I would need to look at a bottle ( not near at moment ) but it should say adult and child dose and a small lamb would be a child dose , I hope it helps , with small lambs, intestines can be seriously damaged by worms and recovery is very slow

Thanks, it gave adult dose at 30ml every half hour. Vet said it takes about a month to mend the stomach lining so i will have to be patient

we use Kaolin & Morphine as a quick fix for runny bums, available from any pharmacy, Boots etc over the counter just make sure you shake the bottle as it settles and seperates!
