[Jacob-list] dewormers and anti-diarrheals?

[Linda]

Thanks, Neal

I've always treated for five days, but will go with ten on this girl and 
in the future. I treat the lambs individually in the spring and that 
seems to work well. I'm never that certain about putting the treatment 
in the drinking water, as the lambs don't seem to drink enough water.
So, if you don't treat with anti-diarrheals, you just have to wait for 
the scours to clear up on it's own? Actually, the scouring cleared up 
after I quit using the kaolin, so perhaps that gave the Sulmet a chance 
to work? Maybe?
Any thoughts on Sulmet over Co-rid?
