Abstract

Six adult sheep were presented with history of sneezing, mucopurulent nasal discharges from last four days. While sneezing, larvae of Oestrus ovis were expelled from the nasal cavity. Oestrus ovis infestation were confirmed by examination of the microscopic structures of ‘D’ shaped respiratory posterior spiracles. Sheep were treated with Ivermectin, Enrofloxacin and Bromhexine hydrochloride, along with supportive therapy. Improvement in the condition was noticed by the third day of therapy.
