Ivermec is safe for pregnant ewes right? I am almost positive it is, but just double checking.

It is safe for pregnant goats at a higher dose than for sheep, so I'd imagine for sheep it would be the same.

Don't use Valbazen and I don't think Ivermectin plus.

@Green Acres Farm is right - Ivermectin is ok for pregnant ewes.
Not Valbazen (albendazole), at least not in the first 30 days of pregnancy or for 30 days after removal of rams).

Do you have a vet that can run fecal parasite counts for you?

And it's not a silly question :)
