    probably, but it's an injection not a pour on for sheep.

    Never heard of it. In theory it should be possible (closantel and an ivermectin), but I don't know of any such product.

    Yes, its new to the market this year. It is a pour-on. Works for fluke and worms and as there is an avermectin in it, it will also work against ectoparasites such as mites etc.

    In cattle they recommend one dose 7 weeks after housing. This is because it is only active against late immature and adult fluke and you need to wait this long for the fluke to get to this stage.

    Don't know the price, but I bet it is expensive (and local merchant said as much). As the first all-in-one pour-on it's worth checking it out.

    Your link is to the injectable for sheep, and the product that was launched earlier this year was a pour-on for cattle.

    JohnGalway is looking for a pour-on for his sheep.

    Yup, looking like that's the case alright. Too cold to be dipping sheep conventionally, they'd bloody freeze :(
