Hi, I do hope that my title was descriptive enough to filter out the genuinely uninterested :-J
So this years lambing is a bit protracted which means that I will be using 11 doses on 23rd /24th jan and 9 on 6th /7th Feb. If anyone can make use of the remains of both or either bottles feel free.
N.B This vac has a 10 hour shelf life once opened so you would need to collect it and use it the same day to ensure maximum effectiveness of the drug.

Just saw this :-)
The Feb dates would be 7 weeks prior to lambing for me (not me, my ewes!). Does anyone know if then having this 7 weeks prior to lambing, rather than 6 weeks?

I would give your vet a call JM and see what they advise.

Will do, thanks. I'll let you know :fc:

You can give at 7 weeks pre lamb but just means less might not get as good a level of immunity passed on in colostrum..... I wouldn't choose to do it but better than nothing.
