Think I am going to start a thread 'best cure for' as our collective knowledge together with actual positive results should be a go to thread for all livestock producers and their stock. Trouble is as you get on in years your memory starts to wane and a go to thread would be useful,

My vet gave me Depocillin which had absolutly no affect at all and we were on to her like a shot , the ewe I mean, not the vet as soon as her lug dropped, but no joy.
