HI
when I checked sheep on wednesday evening one of them looked to have white bits on her rump, and big red raw patches, by the time I got her inside to look they looked like clumps of fly eggs.
with help from a friend, we trimmed the wool back, white was somethig strange, but there were some maggots on her tail, friend commented her tail seemed swollen at the top. (she's a Swaledale so they left her tail on). we treated her with Crovect, gave her a shot of AB.
Up till this morning she seemed OK, this morning had open wound again.
before shearing they were scratching a lot, someone suggested lice, so after shearing I put some louse powder on, (I realised after Wednesday this may be what the white stuff was)
Shearing was July 5th
she's currently in a small field with fieldshelter with her lamb, I'd hoped to get her back in her own field this weekend but not till this is sorted.
any advice please?
