    Have one or two. Nothing dosed yet, besides a round of Chanaverm for Nemo over six weeks ago. FEC test sampling/drench resistance test (STAP) tomorrow and will go again with Chanaverm as it's what I have in store, then will FEC again next Monday. All lambs got bolus.

    i had a outbreak of dirty back ends a week ago anout 20 of 100 in one batch and vet put it down to cocci even though i had them dosed 5 weeks before that with vecoxan, waiting on faecal samples to come back this week. There back ends were very black
    dosed with vecoxan again plus a worm drench and seem to have dried up and thriving again
