down ewe

[paul&mandy]

hi, got a ewe i found suddenly down, flat out. I propped her up and given a shot of antibiotic and some calciject.
this morning still sat up with head right back legs all forward and eyes rolled.
Any ideas what it is? on heptavac and wormed recently but no flukeacide.
only a 1 crop ewe....

Is she blind?

CNN multi vits or b12

 

[Mcnulty24]

CCN was my thought. B12, mixed response here. Some come good, some dont.

as above vit b1 /12 QUICKLY ! and will need doses for 5 days , ring vet . worth bolusing another year if an issue

Which bolus would you use ?

 

[andybk]

ccn usually connected to cobalt and selenium , i use the either the animax se/ cobalt or prefer mayo ones 3in 1 (wessex animal health or wynstay do a rebadged versionbit cheaper ) easy to use , and ask for a free gun with first lot , worth getting half dozen bloods done with vet just to see where you are .not very expensive

Not quite correct.

The Wynnstay bolus is a rebadged version of Mayo but the Wessex Animal Health range ACTOTRACE is different, the ewe bolus is the only bolus that has added Vitamin E and the ACTOTRACE Lamb bolus was designed with the CCN issue in mind and again is the only bolus with added Vitamin B1.

All still with the highest levels of Cobalt, selenium & Iodine.

I hope this helps?

think i had the right info the wessex one was £150 ish per 00 wynnstay was just over 100 per 00 , quite a difference for the extra vit e and b1

My apologies, it reads that the Wessex & Wynnstay are rebadged Mayo boluses, implying they are the same product - They are not, Wynnstay range is exactly the same as Mayo, Wessex isn't.

Not sure where your pricing comes from but the lamb boluses are around 50p each (based on the 250 bolus packs) and the ewe boluses are around £1.00 each (again based on 250 boluses)

They really aren't 50% dearer, let me know if you ever need help or pricing - 07811 437724
