[Jacob-list] Sustain boluses

[Linda]

I don't know about "prescribe" since you can buy it at the feed store. 
It is extra-label for sheep, but it's not a prescription drug.My vet 
felt the time release boluses would be more effective and they were.  
But, as I said, ask your vet, who may feel differently from my vet.
