Do you spray them as well or just Jag them?
I do spray them as well but not sure that does much, might kill some of the maggots.

Pharmasin? Like lincospectin, most vets won’t supply it now. A wise man might stockpile it while he can get it.

Since footvaxing, the ewes here are loads better but the lambs since weaning have been very tedious. Just keep niggling on, have footvaxed all the keeping ewe lambs but there is still a handful lame. lambs just start as scald but then bursts away, annoying as most are on aftermaths so should be clean but I think a lot is picked up in the pens from the shear number of sheep that pass through. Tried footbathing but didn’t seam to make much difference.

Our vet swapped it out for the cheaper copy called Tuloxin, but the price has stayed the same.
Incidentally, I’ve mentioned a travelling vet that had (legally) set up prescribing drugs after an annual visit, who has now been shut down by the new prescribing rules from RCVS. His Tulloxin was £130/100ml, local vet supplies the same product at £155/50ml.
We’re royally having our legs lifted!

He’s packed it in now I think. Technically, as I read the guidance, I think he could still prescribe to a farm that has done a vet health plan, even if that was with someone else. Anyone that is farm assured has to do one anyway.

I can foresee a time when all antibiotics are vet only administration. As in, you will need a vet to actually do the injection.
The new rules have been brought in under the premise.of reducing inappropriate use of antibiotics. So why are some vets interpreting it that they need to see each individual pet dog before selling a wormer or a flea treatment?
