Blind Ewe

[Cab-over Pete]

Aye-up,

We have a shearling ewe who appears blind, but eyes look fine. In fact she’s fine in every other way except obviously disoriented.

She was 100% fine yesterday.


Any ideas?

Cheers, Pete

Absolutely smack on with your diagnosis, thank you again. Vit B to administer every few hours.

worth doing rest with bolus to cover cobalt and selenium , it will often hit his time of year and often too late for treatment when a lamb is in a far flung corner flailing away on its side for a few days usually the best ones .

 

[Cab-over Pete]

We are due to bolus them when we get a minute.

Thanks again.

Is cobalt and selenium linked with ccn ?

not sure , had a few lambs with ccn last year , but all incidences of ccn stopped couple weeks after bolusing , we now bolus 2 weeks pre weaning and had none this year

Had to have her dispatched this afternoon.

She rallied a bit but dropped off rapidly this morning.

Sheep, I suppose
