stress and permanent economic damage to cattle. Including a
dewormer and/or flukicide in your processing schedule can

cause a high percentage of abscesses and skin lesions. This
is especially true with subcutaneous injectables. Caution
must be taken to ensure that abscesses and scar tissue
damage do not occur by administering excess volume per

instructions as to proper use. Consult your veterinarian or
nutritionist for further information.
