Post by: ewesaidit on February 18, 2015, 08:25:12 pm

Hi

only need 2ml to do my tup hogg's 2nd jab (1st jab coincided with ewes pre-lambing booster)

Anyone in Ayrshire about to booster their ewes and able to do without 2ml?

Hi Jamie12

Thanks for replying, very kind of you.   If I don't find someone nearby I'll buy a full bottle and take the hit - travelling a distance would probably end up costing the cost of a full bottle or thereabouts in fuel/time.   Sorry if this reads as ungrateful, absolutely not meant to - just being practical.  Thanks though

Hi, asked the vet when I first got the sheep a few years ago and they said no if it was vaccine

Will try again tho - they may have someone that orders a bottle in who may be willing to allow one dose to be drawn off

thanks
