Title: Combinex and Crovect treatment on same day?
Post by: twizzel on July 17, 2013, 06:43:31 pm

Quick question, we bought some new store lambs this weekend just gone. They need worming and Crovect, can I bring them in and do both treatments in the same day? Or do I need to wait a few days inbetween? They are 3 1/2 mths Texel x. My other lambs are up to date on wormer and crovect if that makes any difference... I'd like to get them wormed asap but also want to treat for flystrike asap too.

Not a problem to do the two together, might consider something like dectomax 50ml circa £27 intramuscular injection day or so after combinex incase the worms are resistant to levamisole ( wormer in combinex ) also treats scab . Are they up to date with clostridial injections?? :sunshine:
