Our vet said to only use it as a cure, not a preventative (and I assume the reason for that is as GB mentioned).

Pretty pricey too, to use therapeutically.
And as I understand it, Zatran has a useful life once injected of only about 14-20 days.
(from ValleyVet:
Zactran (gamithromycin) for Beef & Non-Lactating Dairy Cattle
ITEM ITEM SIZE SIZE PRICE PRICE
Item: 1048RX ** Size: 100 ml $199.00
Item: 1049RX ** Size: 250 ml $407.50
It also is not to be used on any sheep or other ruminants that produce milk for human consumption.

The vet said the Nuflor can be kept up to a year after use is started. We paid $86 for the 100 ml size.

Nuflor is good stuff!
(I probably worded my other post badly. by 'useful life' for the Zactran I meant how long it was actually active inside the animal.)

My ewe Notag and my 122 ewe are healing nicely but missing being with the rest of the herd so I decided to move them back with the others. Where they were was across the lane separating the paddocks and about 200' from the gate to let them in the other field. Their lambs are a bit skittish still but getting better so I just opened the gate and walked down the hill to our holding pen and took a short cut into the stall where they get feed.
they had to walk through my shop which they have never been in before. The ewes will follow anywhere and of course their lambs won't be far behind. I wish I had a picture of the area - they had to make a turn through a small gate and follow me across the porch and then through two more gates to get to where I wanted them. Their trust in their humans can be humbling and I am happy most times that I have relatively small numbers.

You just gotta love it when they follow you, trusting where you lead them.

Fred - I think I have said it before but I often feel guilty for not letting Lance work because it stresses the sheep out since he is the reason we first got sheep.

It is always good to have some back-up, when ya need it.....
