Rick, I feel that worming can turn them around quickly. If you have ever had a lamb with bottle jaw and worm it, the bottle jaw is usually gone the next day.

I had some responses indicating worms so I did give some Valbazen to her and her 3 week old lambs. I would like your opinion and you could look at the Facebook page to see what was said. The ewe had a somewhat bloated appearance and he was not eating or nursing for 2 days. I also saw her struggle for several minutes to get some pee out, which was thick and strangely colored. One lamb died that day.One day after the Valbazen (yesterday) she was acting more normal and today she is completely normal. Her bloated body is gone, she is much thinner. Could this have just been too much stress for her trying to feed three lambs considering her small stature. I find it a little weird that worming medication could help her in only one day?Rick Krach -- via iPhone_______________________________________________This message is from the Blackbelly mailing listVisit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
