Title: What dose of Crovect?
Post by: Tishtosh on April 16, 2019, 08:43:21 pm

I have a four month old lamb and I was wondering what dose of crovect to give her. She is a Dorset lamb and is of good size. Thank you.

Doseage will be on the bottle-
For blowfly prevention up to 25kg is 20ml, 25-40kg 30ml but must not be used in lambs weighing less than 12.5kg.

Thank you, I’m not quite sure how much she would weigh, maybe around the 40kg mark?

Weigh for definite first so you know how much to give her. Do you have a weigh crate?

40kg would be near fit to kill to give an idea
