Re: [blackbelly] Lambing & kidding is complete

[CBear81438]

I had a ewe that was this way only she had lost her lambs last fall due to  
my "guard" donkeys killing them.   I did various treatments and  additives in 
the feed etc.  3 weeks ago I wormed the entire flock with  panacur.  She seemed 
to show a little impreovement.  last Saturday I  wormed the entire flock 
again with Ivomec, She is showing a great  improvement.   I had excellent 
results 
with Ivomec, and cannot  find any good reason that I used panacur, except the 
vet mentioned that panacur  was a little easier on the gut.  I bought into 
that myth about blackbellies  being resistant to worms ( OK I know I started 
something here) but my sheep will  get a worming every 6 months no matter what 
from now on. 
 
I would guess that this ewe has an Ivomec deficiency.
