Hi there guys I have a question, my dog managed to sneak some of the meat from a dead sheep that had Barber's Pole Worm, can he be infected by this?

Question: Can the color of the dental pad be used instead of famacha

[@susanschoenian4021]

Yes. The gums can be examined, too. Any mucous membrane However, the FAMACHA system has only quantified (researched) the color of other lower eyelid.

Congratulations. A very useful video. I prefer not to treat lice with an drug that is also an anthelmintic such as ivermectin. Lots of other options for lice, although I use ivermectin or similar for mites.
