I am worming my sheep this week with combinex is it okay to use the coopers spot on at the same time? they are all more than a year old and not lambing.
-
Why are you using Spot On? Very expensive flystrike preventative - I use Clik when the fleece is 1cm long after shearing or as soon as I see the first greenbottles, whichever happens first.
-
Combinex must not be used on sheep that have been or will be treated with organophosphorus compounds within 14 days
Don't know what Spot on contains as I haven't used it but I am sure you can look it up somewhere
-
Coopers spot-on uses Deltamethrin which is a synthetic pyrethroid , so quite safe , I assume this product is being used for ticks/lice/keds at this time of year
-
Yes Shep I was using it on my sheep and goat as it was mentioned to prevent ticks and lice. I thought as I was bringing them in to worm I could do this as well?

Not usually applied as a preventative since it only lasts a short time 6wks or so ,mostly used as a treatment , remember it needs 2 hrs to dry and best not heavy rain for 24 hrs .
