Use Synulox here. Occasionally saves the quarter (if you catch it soon enough). Always saves the ewe. A lot cheaper than Draxxin (£32 as opposed to £275)

Zactran has just been granted a sheep licence this week, that would be my 1st choice.
Tylan same family and fine, but NOT long acting and needs 5 daily injections to provide a proper course.
I've found Alamycin/Betamox less than useful.
Always give anti-inflammatory and always mark to cull.
Just add to the flavouring of the kebabHad a ewe go solid 3 weeks ago, treated with Betamax LA but lambs were old enough to survive so hasn't remembered. Dad thought a ewe had fly strike last night so phoned me to come and catch her, I recognised her straight away. No fly strike but her udder has exploded, treated with fly prevention as a precautionary, she's holding condition well and should be worth something as a cull!

we use betamox for mastitis and has always been effective.On the Tylan, my vet advocated a single, big dose (10ml), rather than a 5 day course. It seems to work well here. I understand the large, single dose is recommended on dairy cows occasionally too.
I'd agree on Alamycin, but find Betamox (used after a suggestion from @_sheptastic ) seems to get a good response, if I don't have the Tylan with me. Always with Metacam & a cull mark here.
Legally, now Zactran has been granted a licence for use in sheep, can we still use other drugs like Tylan?
Yeah, she's past the w/d period now - get her minced up before it drops off all together (pointless wasting a couple more portions)Just add to the flavouring of the kebab

@bovine what about tubes? On cows metacam makes a massive difference.
