worming question

[Danner]

I have a lamb that died this week. The autopsy came back as barber pole worms. I am checking the eyes of my other lambs to see which ones I need to worm. The vet recommends injecting Dectomax. I read on other sites that wormers should be given orally as a drench to sheep. Any thoughts on injection vs drenching? Also what about Dectomax vs Ivermectin? Thanks

Wow, I'm so sorry about your lamb.
I have never used the injectable wormers.
I have all the others.
For me Cydectin oral drench works the best on the barberpole worms.

As worms live predominantly in the gut (though some migrate elsewhere), oral drenches are usually the most effective.
