Orf plus bacterial friends/lymphangitis

A friend tried an antiviral coldsore ointment on her lambs with Aciclovir in it and said it worked within a couple of days.

That's very interesting. Sorry, but I couldn't see why it had to be whispered

oops thanks Sally not sure how that happened I didn't mean to whisper it!!

Not sure if it is something if aciclovir is/will be available from vets in products as an antiviral treatment, but I imagine the coldsore ointment could be viable to use if in a limited number of lambs.

Our lambs are 2 weeks into their orf and starting to show signs of clearing up... still not a nice sight though. There seems to be a shortage of scabivax this year, our vets have said there's a 3 week wait so whilst we have some on order it's just fingers crossed the other 4 in their pen don't get it.
