We've lost sheep, but we've saved alot of sheep too. We've used ivomec orally and injectable, and levisole(?sp) pills, but have had better success with Synanthic which is oral. Once sheep have bottlejaw you have about a 95% chance of having some type of digestive track infection and inflamation, according to our vet. So not only do you have to treat the worm problem you also have to treat the infection with antibotics, our vet suggested penicillin. Good luck!
