Ide agree but dont want to sound biest ha haWaste of time I'm afraid, dipping is the only real answer
To be on the safe side speak to your vet. Do the sheep have an itch ? if so have you had the tested incase you can yous a pour on?

Best be safe than sorry outher option is isolate them and see if any startBought some in lamb ewes thought i give them a jab just incase they do have scab and affect my own flock
Thanks for the adviceUse Dectomax.
If you do not know the history of the sheep do not use Cydectin LA - if they've ever been dosed with Footvax it could kill them
Pretty sure it only applies to 1%cydectin ,how late do people dip or shower in lambersUse Dectomax.

Thanks for the adviceThe amount of scab about in recent years is nearly enough to put you off buying in sheep from markets, right pain in the arse at the wrong time!! If you want to jab them dectomax them twice, two to three weeks apart as it will only kill live lice so second jab is to catch the egg hatch that they are already carrying!!! Move to a fresh field after jab if you can so they aren’t picking up eggs off scratching posts an fences!! Right ball ache, dipping is a lot easier in the long run and very effective with good practice
You aren't allowed to shower its illegal !Pretty sure it only applies to 1%cydectin ,how late do people dip or shower in lambers
the 1% is lethal, 2% is fineUse Dectomax.

You’ve also got to keep the fields the sheep have been on clear for 20 days(I know they say 18 but better safe than sorry) use 1.5x the dosage if using dectomax for scab.The amount of scab about in recent years is nearly enough to put you off buying in sheep from markets, right pain in the arse at the wrong time!!

My vet reckons that if people didn't buy in stock her work would be halvedYou’ve also got to keep the fields the sheep have been on clear for 20 days(I know they say 18 but better safe than sorry) use 1.5x the dosage if using dectomax for scab.
I don’t buy from markets and until they sort out the scab issue I won’t either. Unless you have a dipping tank at home You can’t choose to bring stock home that don’t fetch what you want for them or they bring scab back with them.
Ye
the 1% is lethal, 2% is fine
