BARBER’S POLE ALERT! 💈🐑

We have diagnosed some Barber’s pole worms in sheep already. The warm weather with rain has been ideal for worms, so you may need to consider drenching your lambs, or even better dropping a faecal sample into the clinic for a worm egg count.
Barber’s pole (Haemonchus contortus, has a red strip curling around it) causes anaemia in sheep, which can result in slow lambs with pale gums and eyes, or sudden death. The lifecycle of this helminth can be as short as 2 weeks, so you may want to consider using a drench with extended activity against Haemonchus, such as Cydectin S or Clomax, but be aware of the latter’s long with-holding period.
