Had spring lambs in today, caught one rough looking one (shiťťy & open fleece) to worm & te drench. Whilst doing him noticed some blood & it'd push some of its rectum out. Went back ok, gave it LA abs & sprayed bumhole with terramycin. Any further suggestion?

Keep an eye on it. If it's keeping doing it Ive put a single stitch across before to keep it in.

Few years ago now but it must've worked, because I remember doing it - but can't remember the lamb afterwards, so I'm guessing it went away fat.

Just put a purse stitch around it leaving a thumb sized hole for crapping , no worries , if it keeps putting it out it will go necrotic and black , drying out

Speaking from experience ....just don’t leave the stitch in , forget about it and send it to the abbatoir, or you will be in for a total s**tstorm .

Probably got this wrong but somewhere in the depths of my memory think someone told me this happens when cocci is present. Something to do with aggravating bowel.


Disclaimer.....could have got that completely wrong

Could be coccidiosis. Try a dose of Vecoxan.

I had one a couple of years ago, ewe lamb, put a prolapse harnesses on it with a modification of additional baler band to make it fit. When lamb got to finish weight, took harness off, sent into market.
