Flystrike eggs but no maggots
« on: May 23, 2025, 05:34:35 pm »
Hi everyone

I noticed flies honing in on a ewe who has a urinary infection judging by her stained tail and smell. I checked her over and found no sign of maggots but did see evidence of eggs. I destroyed the eggs by hand and then applied a liberal application of Crovect. She seems okay in herself, eating etc.

She hasn't been sheared yet like the rest of my flock. Should I leave the Crovect do its job or should I shear her by hand  and reapply Crovect?

Any advice on the urinary problem? She's not scouring.
