Hi all,
I've just had the vet do a FEC on my 6 gimmers as they were getting a bit mucky around the you-know-where
Fluke and worm counts were all low but cocci was quite high, their bums all seem to have dried up again and the vet was happy that there was no need to treat them with anything.
However, being a relative newbie, having more grass than sheep to eat it and obsessing over the health of my girls, are there other steps that can be taken to lower/minimise the risk of re-infection?
I've had a quick scan through the internet and TAS so my water troughs (and feed when out) will be moved about and cleaned more regularly, I'm also thinking about using temp fencing to split up my 3 fields so I can keep each area clear for at least 28 days. Does this sound sensible? are there any other tips/wee gems of wisdom out there?
I'll speak to the vet as well but why ask one man when you get advice off so many
