I used Sudocreme a few years ago and it worked well.
What's the best thing for a ewe with a chewed/chapped teat, she's letting them suck alright and I am just rubbing cheno unction on tits maybe 2 or 3 times a day, anyone have any better suggestions.
clik extra contains 5 times the active ingredient that clikzin does, you have to abide by the clik extra withdrawal period if you use Clik extra, even diluted.
Also the dye is very faint and hard to see if you dilute,
No she is too alert for meningitis. Gave her antibiotic too just incase
meningitis Cnc maybe.
if she was mine I’d bring her to vet
they have way better injections
not much more ya can do really in my opinion, keep going with the life aid and calcium. Try handling her soon to see if any progress but she just mightn’t be pushing
No doubt it’s a touch early but may can be a real bad month for flystrike if the weather is warm and muggy. Obviously it’s all weather dependent so I’m just planning on a light treatment if needs be
wow I was thinking mixing it 1:1, 5:1 would really make it stretch and affordable. Thanks 👍
Have. A ewe sick for past 3 days. Of her food. Scanned for a single. In good body condition.
have given her liquid life aid for twin lamb disease and given her calcium in case of miles fever. No improvement though.
has a bit of a twitch this evening. Any thoughts
I’d say it’s a bit early for clik yet. There will be no flys for a few weeks yet unless u don’t have handling facilities letting them off.
Yea, we mix Clik Extra at one litre to five litres water and that makes it the same strength as Clikzin, it covers about six weeks.
Clik on the ewes seems to protect the lambs too until they're weaned
Was thinking of putting watered down Clik extra on the ewes soon to hopefully see them safe until searing time. Anyone do anything similar or use a different product?
Yes, that’s it Joe.
Is it just a fec you do on them.
Test them as it could be either liver fluke or rumen fluke. You'll know which to dose for then.
Have a few ewes in poor condition, thinking of giving them a fluke dose as I put them away to grass. What's best to go with and should i test them first.
Only dosing the few in poor form
I tried a bit of fairy and within an hour he had a dirty back end. I think I heard to that here and I chanced it.
He's fine now, thanks
Some liquid paraffin. Also have you checked gently with a cotton bud that he has an opening?
Hi all, what can you do for a lamb who is constipated. He was born yesterday and still has a very clean backend.
He seems full but is lying out and not bothered sucking
They can get very violent when they reject one.
penned up a ewe with a fine couple two days ago, but she wasn’t great to one of her lambs. She had one killed this morning from a puck id assume. Fair sickening
Anyone ever come across a ewe lamb foaming at the mouth? Fully vaccinated and up to date with fluke,
Any one price small bags of fertiliser lately? I know it's very wet but 2 dry days this time of year would improve things..18/6/12
Seal was already broken as he sucked the beestings from both
Buying Smyth’s 20% nut by the tonne loose and collected……€435 a tonne….happy with them.
€440 for quinns 20% supreme ewe bulk collected,grennans 20% elite ewe and lamb €500 per ton in 25kg bags collected..both are excellent nuts with plenty of soya bean meal
Round to that time of year again!🙂
What kind of money are people giving per tonne for a good 18 or 20% ewe and lamb nut?
Would be buying it loose by the tonne.Collect myself.
I forget what is ideal order %’s wise and content wise in a good nut to put milk into ewes?
Thanks for any replies.
He doesn't need to suck both teats, you could've done harm by milking and breaking the seal of the one he wasn't going to suck.
Any good ideas for getting a single lamb to suck both tits, I milked her out twice to make tit smaller so he would suck
fumes off formalin are carcinogen , so wear a good protective mask or breathing apparatus
