Howdy! Haven't been posting for quite a while, life can keep one busy...
Anyways, I have had either mange or winter itch a few times over the years, but it used to be pretty simple to deal with. Dump some ivomectin / ( Bovi-solution ) on them or pour burnt motor oil on ( during the summer months) and it was usually taken care of. Now it seems the "bug" has became resistant to the ivomectin, and I Have applied it twice and it died down and I thought it was taken care of, however it seems to have popped back up again. I have been told by both vets and ranchers that they are using something called "saber" or "sabre", but my understanding it is pretty toxic. Being in Canada, I probably do not have the same access to things that are in the USA..
What is everyone using nowdays for winter itch /,mange? How toxic is Sabre?( saber ) cause the cows are always licking each other, and some are bred.. Dont need any problems..
thanks
