Afternoon all,


Bit of a 'mare. Determined to keep on top of flystrike routines this year I gathered my 6 ewes and 11 lambs altogether. Beautiful pen (if I do say so myself) Thought everything was going well until...2nd to last bloomin' sheep I suddenly realise 'they're all blue" I had just picked up gun and applicator and was trigger happy... So they've all been Crovect'd (which I always presume to be the treater) instead of being Clik'd (the preventer)


Does anyone know if I need to 'go over' with the Clik preventer and when is safe to do that?


Honestly, just when you thought you were winning....

We use Crovect as a preventer - hardly ever had to use it to treat, apart from in the early days when we were using vetrazin which let some maggots hatch in a very woolly lamb (that was when we changed to Crovect)

Oh fab - I didn't know it could be used as a preventer?!! How long does it protect for?

Yes it is both a prevention and cure.  It protects for 10 weeks for ticks but quotes nothing else.

It's our go to what ever the situation, thankfully we rarely get it here but always got it handy.

    It says it protects the area's covered by the product for 6-8wks ( remember it only protects the wool it touches it does not spread )

We assume six weeks to the day, so repeat promptly, and keep a good lookout as well
