[blackbelly] worming sheep
Hello, we are looking for a little advice. We are helping out with a herd of sheep. 2 have bottle jaw already. We got all of them wormed with ivomec oral on this past wednesday the 20th. We would like to worm again but how soon? We can worm with either dectomax injection or cydectin oral . Hopefully we can save them. Do any of them ever pull through or do they die?

Re: [blackbelly] worming sheep
Hi, We've definately saved sheep like this; for heavy investation like this, we usually use ivomec INJECTABLE - although not offically approved for sheep, we think it works the best and fastest. We've wormed sheep 2-3 days apart before with no ill effects. Of course, it depends on the sheep and how sick they are, if they are eating, etc. too - needs to be considered.

Re: [blackbelly] worming sheep
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!

Re: [blackbelly] worming sheep
Nancy, Mine have all pulled through when they have had bottle jaw. But I learned of a better method several years ago. Because of the worm load the sheep have by the time they have bottle jaw, sometimes with one worming they can die. What works real well is 3 wormings. Each worming is 1/2 of the wormer and the sheep are wormed every day for 3 days. You can use the same wormer for the 3 wormings. You end up giving the sheep one and 1/2 times the dosage. Two weeks later give a full dose of a different wormer. For that worming I usually use safeguard or anything from a different chemical family. This method is time consuming but it doesn't seem to stress the sheep as much as one worming. Especially if they are near the end of a pregnancy. Since you have wormed once go ahead and worm again in a couple of weeks.
