Frequently Asked Questions

What services do sheep vets provide?

Sheep veterinarians offer flock health consultations, CDT (Clostridium and tetanus) vaccination, parasite management (barber pole worm/Haemonchus), foot rot treatment, pregnancy toxemia management, lambing assistance (dystocia), OPP (ovine progressive pneumonia) testing, and emergency care for both wool and meat sheep operations.

What vaccines do sheep need?

CDT vaccination (Clostridium perfringens types C & D plus tetanus) is the core annual vaccine for sheep. Depending on your region and flock history, your vet may recommend additional vaccines. Ewes are typically vaccinated 4–6 weeks pre-lambing so that immunity passes to lambs via colostrum.

Can I use the same vet for sheep and goats?

Yes — most large animal vets experienced with small ruminants will treat both sheep and goats. Many diseases and parasites are shared between the species, and management protocols are similar. Always confirm a vet has small ruminant experience before your first appointment.

What is ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP) and how is it managed?

Ovine Progressive Pneumonia (OPP) is a chronic, incurable viral disease that causes respiratory problems, weight loss, and mastitis in sheep. Testing requires a blood test that a vet can perform. Management involves testing and removing OPP-positive sheep from the flock, along with good biosecurity practices to prevent new infections.

Do sheep vets make farm calls?

Many do. Ambulatory sheep vets travel to your farm for flock health visits, pre-lambing exams, vaccinations, and emergencies. In some areas, a haul-in clinic visit may be needed for diagnostics. Use the "Mobile / Farm Calls" filter to find farm call vets in your county.
