Odd one but once they bloat there f**kedDoes anybody ever get them over watery mouth. A mate reckoned vets gave them electrolytes and one recovered. Can’t remember one ever surviving with us.
It can be done, but it's not easy. They can go down so fast, it's luck as much as anything. Anti-inflamatory, fluids (whilst not overloading), antibiotic, and sorting out any blockage. Intensive stuff, and a mini crash crisis.Does anybody ever get them over watery mouth. A mate reckoned vets gave them electrolytes and one recovered. Can’t remember one ever surviving with us.
That's a hefty dose for a little lamb?Iv saved a couple, always give them 1ml metacam and 2ml trimox.
Is trimox same as betamoxIv saved a couple, always give them 1ml metacam and 2ml trimox.
Pen and strep. Where do you inject the glucoseI’ve always injected them with glucose to keep them going and 2ml of penicillin saved a few if they look brighter in a few hours lay seem to come ok if not there dead
Pen and strep. Where do you inject the glucose
Got a couple cade lambs on a bucket rearer that have gone wet around the back end. Any ideas? Not got them on ad lib on the bucket because every time you put milk in (even a litre between 5) they look as if they've gorged themselves with big bellies on them. Not fully bloating as it keeps happening and it goes down and they're fine between feeds. First year on the bucket so any help appreciated
Oldest 2 are 4 weeks on SaturdayHow old are they?
It will be much healthier for them to be on ad lib. Just make sure the milk never runs out and stays fresh, otherwise they will gorge when you fill it up which is not good for them.
I usually dose mine for cocci at around 3 weeks old if they start to scour. They dry up quickly afterwards, which just shows the infection pressure even in a pen that is well bedded.
We had one, not bloody but kind of terracotta colour and v smelly, few days old. AB injected and 1 ml penicillin down the throat. Think its the latter that did the job.Yellow turning redish yellow in sever cases
This describes this year for meWe have had a problem scour the last two years. Vet tests indicated a Rota virus thing, yellow like Colmans mustard running down legs at 24/48 hrs. Affecting up to 50% of lambs in pens one or two days, must be environmental thing, worse on damp days.
0.7ml of subcutaneous Betamox LA/Trymox as soon as lambs started to look slightly dull, or do both lambs soon as the first one scours, was the cure. Weren't losing lambs, but it's just another job to worry about.
Touch wood, only had a couple of lambs displaying symptoms year.
Do a few investigations on the poop -How do you tell if there is an active dung Beatle population in a field?
