Fluke treatment
« on: February 02, 2018, 02:48:12 pm »
I don't want to keep asking my local farmer friend for help, so I want to fluke my own sheep.  Problem is: my local farm merchant only has it in 2.5lt.

I only have 30 shetlands.

Where can I get small quantities from??

Thanks for that bj.  I looked on line a drew a blank.  I've narrowed it down to Tribex 5% but I can only find 2.2lt bottles.  Who knew there were so many meds out there for sheep.

your vet may dispense a small amount.

My vet will often dispense small doses for me
Our holding has Anglo Nubian and British Toggenburg goats, Gotland sheep, Franconian Geese, Blue Swedish ducks, a whole load of mongrel hens and two semi-feral children.

Hi John
I see you are in SW Cumbria, we are just outside Appleby and happy to let you have the required amount of Tribex from our pot if that's any help.

So many ideas, not enough hours

Flukiver and Triclafas you can get in 1 litre bottles.  Fane Valley stores stock them both in this size: https://www.fanevalleystores.com


Those are the two types of flukicide - buy a bottle of each so you can rotate them (triclafas in autumn, flukiver now) - they usually have long shelf life.  I have less sheep than you and I manage not to waste any doing this.
