[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 205474, member: 1132"] Thank you for your comments loosecow (ie full of oscar meyer bologna) - the initial poster did not give their location, so the season for them may be still winter (ie Canada, US Rockies, & even the northeast) which would certainly pose a risk for worming if grubs were still in the cow's system. I will let you read the following as you seem not motivated to find info on your own (from a "Cattle Today" search): "If cattle are being put through a chute, a pour on is usually the simplest way to control lice. Oil based pour ons are formulated to travel through the hair coat so the chemical spreads over the whole body of the animal. Other pour ons are systemic and absorbed into the body to kill lice, grubs and other internal parasites at the same time. Some of these must be used before winter to avoid toxic reactions due to grubs being killed while migrating through the esophagus or spinal nerve canal. The dying grubs release substances that cause swelling and inflammation in the tissues (choking or bloat in the esophagus, or temporary paralysis if in the spinal canal), which could lead to death of the animal unless the reaction is reduced with prompt and proper treatment. Check with your veterinarian for advice on insecticides and which products might be best for your situation and climate. Cattle can be treated for grubs after heel fly season is over, no more risk of new eggs being laid, and about three months before the anticipated first appearance of grubs. Treatment for grubs in northern regions should be given before December, while treatments in warm southern states should be no later than mid October."
