Pregnant ewe

[Bexs1990]

Hi guys
Iv only had sheep for the last couple of years and this is the first year breeding and lambing at home.

Iv noticed we have a Ewell lamb that’s got roughly 3 weeks to go but she’s got a cough.
does anyone have any suggestions?
could it be lungworm if so am I able to give her a dose of supaverm with her being in lamb?
Thanks bex

Supaverm says no problem in pregnant sheep , lungworm tends to be a group thing rather then individual , so maybe speak to vet as it could be a throat problem (abcess ) especially if short necked breed
