Title: Slightly snotty nose
Post by: moprabbit on April 26, 2018, 01:12:14 pm

I've got 4 sheep and over the last week or so have noticed that 3 of them have had a very slight snotty nose in the morning mainly. I rang the vet today for a chat about this and he suggested an antibiotic today and then worm them tomorrow. I just wondered if anyone else had come across snotty noses being linked to worms? They're not coughing, but occasionally sneeze. Thank you.

Wonder if he is thinking nasal bot ? in which case it will be ivermectin or similar

Thanks Shep. I'll have a look at all the wormers and what they treat.
