[QUOTE="Jonny_2, post: 7502655, member: 39054"] Another sheep conundrum! 10 days ago we gathered a ewe up that had been out with her lamb 4/5 days, walking round in circles, star gazing and stumbling. Caught it up and its mouth was rammed with un-swallowed grass. Within 15mins of fetching it in and ringing the vet she had filled her gob again with silage (ended up penning her up on sawdust). Vet wasnt too sure, so tried Pen Strep, Metacam and a Vit B1 jab. She has lived although lost every ounce of flesh. Whilst sorting this one out, we found another in the same field showing all the signs of staggers, jabbed her with mag but not much better next morning so started her on the same as the first one but died 24hrs later. This one seemed to eat and drink fine, but did die suddenly an hour after feeding her so maybe choked on a roll. Put all this down to one of those sheep things, however now a third is on its last legs from what is left to lamb. She has been housed 8 weeks, showed a touch of twin lamb on friday dinner time so drenched her, no better by tea time so Pen Strep and Metacam. Been trying to drink but cant, try to give it some electrolystes and starts to choke. Done lots of walking in circles and thrashing. Been in a coma most of today so will get knackerman in the morning, Anyone any ideas? All getting the same sheep cake and outside sheep get Crystalix blocks. Inside sheep are on hay which was made off the same field the outside sheep are grazing. Vet thought it could be plant poisoning but cant find anything that would cause it TIA [/QUOTE]
