We have a very flighty ewe which we couldn't catch to clip when we did the rest - result, she's been struck.  We've just caught her this morning, clipped and applied crovec (loads of maggots on the hindquarters) now she is obviously looking very sorry for herself - any suggestions for an immediate boost/tonic? Or anything else we could do to help?
Thanks

As it is likely that the skin has been broken, injectable antibiotics are useful, something like a Betamox LA, which gives you a couple of days of broad cover
Also an antibacterial/soothing cream/spray over the affected area would be worth a go.
I'd imagine it is rather painful so an injection of a meloxicam would also be nice.
Otherwise, usual TLC sort of things like vitamins - by injection or drench, nutrition (can use something like a twin lamb drench (which usually has vitamins in also), or tasty treats to get her eating well) and plenty water

Thanks, I've got some twin lamb drench and aeroclens antiseptic spray.  Wish me luck, I'm going in!

Treatment as above, then a trug full of prunings from young shoots to pick through - apple, hazel, willow, thornless rose, vines, raspberry leaf, mint, ivy, ash...

She has now recovered well and is back in with the rest of the flock.  Thanks for all the advice.
