[Jacob-list] dewormers and anti-diarrheals?

[Linda]

I usually use Corid, but no one had it in town. The ewe is fine now and 
the scours are over.
Why are you not to have Sulmet? Something to do with the dairy, I 
suppose, but what? I was under the impression that Corid could have a 
number of serious side effects. Didn't they pull it from the market a 
few years ago?
