Sheep medical supplies

[Grant]

Hello shepherds. As some have seen, I now have sheep. I have been collecting all the “stuff” needed to keep on hand. Here’s what I have, what do I still need?

General Medical/health
Bluekote
Iodine
Vitamin b paste
Calcium gluconate injectable
First arrival paste (probiotic)
Lamb milk replacer
Colostrum replacer

CDT vaccine

Treatment
Corid
Amoxicillin
LA300

Dewormers
Levamed (Prohibit)
Cydectin
Privermectin
Safeguard

This is in addition to them always having access to salt, minerals, dolomite lime, baking soda.

I feel like I already own a pharmacy, but if there is something else I need, I’ll get it.

Sounds like you have all the basics... understand that cydectin and primervectin are both in the same family. Little different formulations. Cydectin has been shown to be less damaging to dung beetle populations.
Prohibit is like the last defense against a bad worm infestation... we try to not use it unless a "life or death" situation... there is nothing else to "go to" after that... pour ons don't work very good... drenches are best... or safeguard blocks but consumption can be iffy.... and safeguard can be hard on their system if they have a "worm bloom" and a seemingly bad case of worms...
Do not worm regularly... only on an "as needed " basis so that the worms and eggs that are passed do not develop a resistance to the wormers; the resistant worms are the ones that survive and then they become even more resistant... switching back and forth means they wind up developing resistance to all wormers...

Be careful of the calcium gluconate...it is designed to be given IV.... can be given SQ.... more likely to have pregnancy Toxemia than Hypocalcemia.... You can search for calcium gluconate injectible in Sheep and read an article by Ulf Kintzel (spelling) ... comparing the 2... the man has more sheep experience and common sense approach to sheep...than most anyone..... I think his place is "White Clover Farm"...
Different treatments for different situations... can occur simultaneously... but Toxemia is very common in sheep carrying multiple lambs...You will want propylene glycol for toxemia...
