It really wouldn't hurt us to drink it, except we don't have worms :)<br /><br />But I've read that this is one of the meds they give to children in poor countries because they do have worms.<br /><br />We are trying the two mastitis vaccines that they use for heifers. Other goat people on the internet have had good success with it and there are a few who are saying that their vets are now recommending it. I don't know if it would work with sheep or not.<br /><br />I ordered the J-Vac and the Lysigin from Jeffers. I've talked to IFA to see if they can get it in. We like to support local businesses if we can. IFA has always treated us well.<br /><br />We start milking the day after kidding because I don't want the goat to get so full of milk that there is even a chance of them developing mastitis. I don't know if your ewes will let you milk them out or not. Debbie had good success milking one or two of her ewes a few years ago when she had to bring a lamb into the house.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890037981997328026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331591886946739033.post-26349442203367096442010-04-06T10:31:11.885-06:002010-04-06T10:31:11.885-06:00Can you still make soap with the milk after Ivomec...Can you still make soap with the milk after Ivomec? <br />Also, where did you get all the drugs for Mastitis and is there any evidence it would work on sheep. We had two ewes that got it bad this year, I mean, pussy pink milk. We only found it because one of their lambs were having problems so we checked. The antibiotics seem to have taken care of it, but I would love to know if there is something I can do to prevent it.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736731712648882257noreply@blogger.com
