[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 108009, member: 60"] "Fly Strike" as it is called, is usually pretty dramatic, with the nasty things boiling in whatever opening they've infested. My heifer calf had so many they were literally falling out of her vagina and rectum. While the animals can be successfully treated by washing (douching) with soapy water then treating with Ivomec, it is much better to control the flies to begin with. Since I only have a handful of tame animals, fly control isn't a big deal -- mine wear the red fly tags in their ears (changed every 5 months) and each receive 1 cup of apple cider vinegar in their daily feed. Since I use the milk from my cows, I don't like to use anything that might end up in the milk. Apple cider vinegar works real well "most" of the time, but I will use a dairy-approved fly spray when needed. Ann B [/QUOTE]
