Ewe gone off food

[Woolyleg]

Had a ewe lamb yesterday, 2 good lambs unassisted- plenty of milk- textbook lambing really. This morning a different story, she just wants to lie down all day, won’t eat and seems to be breathing heavy and quickly don’t know if that’s just a coincidence. Whats everyone’s thoughts ?

jab of AB and some metacam

try some ivy....even quite poorly sheep will eat that

Good luck

Does it have a temperature? Antibiotic if it does. 60mls of Calciject would be my first choice.

+1 Calciject or whatever the latest version is called. And a glug of twin lamb potion

Any time I`ve a ewe like that it`s A/B straight away and vit B injection too . Calcium injection might help but the A/B injection is very important in case there`s an infection causing it.

Id add in Magnesium into the mix as well.
