    Hi have had the rams with the ewes since Nov 1st. I was going to bring them in from the fields and drench them for fluke and let them back to the fields.
    However I was wondering is it safe to drench ewe that should be in lamb?

    Think it will say on the box if your not supposed to give it to pregnant ewes.

    I used this on mine after the ram:

    Section 4.7 says it's safe for pregnant sheep.

    Drenching for fluke should not be a problem with any product you like just make sure it covers immature fluke. The only thing that you should do is try to keep stress to a minimum when handling the ewes.
    I think that by not treating for fluke would be more detrimental to your lamb yield than dosing.
