[QUOTE="neilo, post: 3387740, member: 348"] That's certainly low enough to warrant sorting out. A neighbour, who was bloodtesting more frequently than me, bolused his lambs at about that level in the summer. He retested a month later as they still weren't thriving as they should, and they averaged about 70 ng/ml, so still considered low on vet's interpretation. He drenched and retested a couple of weeks later, and they averaged over 100 and were flying again.:) He, and I, are both intending drenching and bolusing again this coming year, to avoid it happening again. I used a cheap TE drench that costs 7-8p/lamb from Welsh Farm Supplies, but he used an Iodine only drench made up by our vet and costing even less. Pretty sure any topical treatment will only be short lived, much like a drench. [/QUOTE]
