So it may not have to be done every year then?
That's what had put me off it, since by all accounts it's a pretty horrid treatment to administer, what with the injection site coming up in lumps etc.
However, our shepherd friend told me not to be quite so timid (those may not have been the words he used), and to just get on and do it. He too said that autumn was the time to do it not just because of flies, but also because that gives the lumps time to go down before shearing.
I haven't been able to find a datasheet for it though (
NOAH links to the
Manufacturer's website, which then links back to NOAH!
[size=78%])[/size]So, three questions if I may:
1) I take it that sheep previously treated with Cydectin LA are OK to subsequently dose with Footvax? If so, how long do you need to leave between one and the other?
2) Where's the best injection site?
3) I take it it's an SC injection?
