I am so freaking sick of seeing deworming products just for meat cows, just for goats, just for breeding cows, just for this and that....
But I never, ever see anything for sheep. Why?

Actually, there are more products that have sheep dosages on them than goat. But sheep and goats don't generate enough money. That is why there is more for cows.

Yep - as listed, use any of those wormers, dependant on what you are worming for and what is effective in your area. :) If not labeled what the sheep dose is (and most aren't) check with your vet or even the manufacturer.

And why drench? Injectable is so much easier! No aspiration risk, just a needle and syringe needed. :)

Inject-able, paste, anything is fine. I just never see anything that say's "sheep" on it, everything else is listed. Just weird, might just be my area...though, there are fairly equal amount of sheep and goats here...

I use Cydectin. Works pretty well. Kind of pricey but worth it. Thankfully I never have any problems and rarely have to use it
