Hi everyone
I noticed flies honing in on a ewe who has a urinary infection judging by her stained tail and smell. I checked her over and found no sign of maggots but did see evidence of eggs. I destroyed the eggs by hand and then applied a liberal application of Crovect. She seems okay in herself, eating etc.
She hasn't been sheared yet like the rest of my flock. Should I leave the Crovect do its job or should I shear her by hand and reapply Crovect?
Any advice on the urinary problem? She's not scouring.
