Hi guys
heres something to think on
back ground history
39 kg hogged when went away grazing 11 weeks ago drenched and has had all vax 5-1 toxo campy etc
on grass for 7 weeks then grass and balage last 4 weeks
got Shifted to new grazing block and was a bit life less coming off truck died over night
had a yellow scour see photo which I have not seen in 9-10 month old hogget
any ideas
all hoggets were drenched yesterday so if high worm numbers. will be gone now virus ??

yea thats the think seen that colour in young calfs and lambs but not in older sheep thats the bit can realy work out what it is
dirt in balage have seen the effects of that before
high worm burdens seen that
milk fever abortion etc etc seen that
nothing like this before in a 9-10 month old animal
vet thought salmonella. but looking at that dont tick the boxes and scouring not matching up

still no real answers sent a email off to Massey uni to see if anyone there had any ideas
spoken to a few guys one did say crypto. had it in calfs years ago but thought only effected very young stock
vet thinks maybe salmonella but I think the scour wrong colour
intresting thing when in yards getting drenched did not eat grass in yards but ate the grass out of years nitrates ????
another one that was sick on friday and was drenched wend down hill a bit more yesterday and died overnight bit of a bugger so far away to check a few things like gums around eyes. any blood and scour leg paddling. head position etc etc. or if warm unzip and look at the motor to see if anything shows up out of whack ...
there is still one a bit slow hopefully it recovers any more start going down will have to get. some in to vets for tests
