Title: injections
Post by: zarzar on January 05, 2013, 07:27:31 pm

Hi im new to sheep keeping and im wondering what injections ect should be done routinely, they have all just been vaccinated for scab as a local farmer has had it and we have a footpath through field and also goes through neigbouring sheep farmers land, they where wormed with combinex about 1 month ago, but im unsure what i should be protecting them against as most are breeding ewes with a few store lambs.

Could also Google SCOPS - Sustainable Control of Parasites in Sheep.  Lots of info on the EBLEX site, too.

Return them to your veterinary practise, along with used meds containers.
