[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1717127, member: 968"] If the vet used a drug like Ivermectin (grubicide), most likely (like others have noted), grubs had migrated to the spine area. Killing them at this stage is deadly for the host. Deadline date varies in different areas. We are not supposed to kill grubs after 11-1 in NY. I would be a bit upset that the vet was unaware of this possibility. Since he thought the animal was over-loaded with worms, he might have used a product that did not kill grubs?? All livestock are susceptible to worms. You might consider getting on a health program that includes de-worming a few times a year. I generally deworm mid to early-summer, after they have picked up fresh worm load from grazing, but not long enough to be spreading new supply onto your pastures, and again in the fall (before 11-1) [/QUOTE]
