[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 969937, member: 968"] ALL grub killers (pour-on dewormers) "can" be dangerous if given to the cattle during a crucial time of the migration of the grub in the cattles system. In New York, the cutoff date is about 11-5. We are NOT supposed to use a grub killing product after that date. If the grubs are in certain areas and die, they can be harmful to the animal - even causing death. "Proper timing is critical for the safe, effective use of systemic insecticides. Treatment must be made after adult heel fly activity ceases, but before the migrating grub larvae reach the esophagus or spinal cord. This means that systemics should be used in September, and never after November 1. Treatments made after November 1 may cause severe allergic reactions in the animals, resulting in bloat, paralysis, and death."
