[Jacob-list] safeguard

[Mary Hansson]

Hi all,

Just a word of warning regarding massive amounts of
wormer:

I about lost a ewe a number of years ago that received
500# of Safeguard wormer (heavy dosed her and then
turned around and wound up dosing her again as I
forgot that I did it the first time).  When the
tapeworms died, it is thought they produced a toxin
which put her pretty low.  It took a couple YEARS
before she really adequately recovered to consider
breeding her, and I can't really say she was worth
lots ever.....
