What wrong with this sheep?

[Greythundercloudys]

Found this sheep kinda lying by herself, was alright yesterday, crunching her teeth, facing dog up and kinda blinky and in a trance you would think. Jagged her but no interest in cake, probably dead tomorrow.

Any mud around? Listeria? Try ivy

 

[Bald Rick]

As above although they walk around in circles too with listeria


(Would underline my reply for extra emphasis but NEA)

 

[Pistonbroke]

What did you jab her with? Could be Calcium or twin lamb

 

[CopperBeech]

Is it a ewe or lamb?
Is it in lamb?
If so for when?

 

[milkloss]

Listeriosis I would guess. Look out for droopy ear and slobber.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

Two early of twin lmb and lv seen plenty with listeria, not that is a ewe not lambing till April, only have alemicin la so gave her that.

Hypocalcaemia can occur any time if they re under duress.

Red top (calciject 5) at 60 to 80 ml 60 for that one if its smaller.?...and some electrolyte solution / drenched at the appropriate rate with water as well

 

[milkloss]

Pen strep for listeriosis I think....big doses at that.

it would be half the dose of n06 if using 5

dont thinks so

Calciject no 6 discontinued

We use this to help resurrect 'twin-lamb' ewes, but have just been told it's being discontinued by Norbrook and there is no direct replacement. Have you guys n girls got any ideas? cheers

just use 5 at half dose.

Give metacam to

 

[Bury the Trash]

Give metacam to

, label says 200ml to 400ml for cattle.

just to be aware...

the equivalent so to speak half rate of that is 60 to 80ml

I’m just quoting my vet who is very very good, told me 400 for cattle so give 40 for sheep. Give 80ml of no 6 usually. Also give proplyne glycol and metacam usually works. If it doesn’t work it gets dexametheson (sp)

similar - 80ml, two sides over ribs, usually drawn into syringe and chucked on windscreen heater, which heats it very quick. Failing that IV in the neck. Metacam when you give calcium makes a big difference.

spotting a problem early enough is the clever bit

makes any remedial action work so much better

very true, ones you find on their feet have a lot more chance than the ones already down.

never bought no6, always just gave full syringe of no5 split in 2 doses in the neck with 1/2” (12.5mm) needle.
