    have one ewe displaying symptoms of scab( bitting, loosing wool and rubbing everywhere she finds..she is skin and bone too)...they are all housed..never had that before and i am unsure of how to go about it..should i treat that one only? or the whole flock? the fact that they are housed means they are in very close contact..what's the best product to use? thanks

    I had a few as well a few weeks ago, couldnt dip them as it was too cold. So I injected them with Ivomec, two injections 7 days apart and not an itch to be seen now. My problem arose with bought in ewe lambs and when I joined them up with my home bred ewe lambs the itch spread like wildfire, my advice is to act immediately. Best of luck.

    thanks, did you inject them all or only the affected ones?

    I had the ewe lambs seperate from the main flock and as they were the only ones affected I injected all the ewe lambs. Better to be safe than sorry.
