Just a thought here. Could be a colbalt defiency also known as a B12 defiency.
Sheep seem to be much more vunerable to disease if the levels are low in their
feed. I would definitely take Cecil's advice and worm plus either drench with
colbalt sulfate OR inject with B12.

I would agree with Dayna's recommendation, B12 will also stimulate
appetite.

Just an updated on my issue with sheep dieing.
I ended up treating with Corid (amprolium) - assuming it was Coccidia.
I directly drenched the one AB ewe that was on deaths door, and she has
recovered nicely. She still is very skinny, but is acting very sheep
like (eating with the others, etc).
Have you wormed them? Lately?
I would worm the entire flock with Ivomec drench or Panacur

Are you close to a University such as Texas AM? It might be worth
contacting them and find a vet interested in the problem you are
experiencing. Doing a necropsy on the next animal that expires can be
very beneficial since you may find out exactly what is causing the
problem. Just a thought.

In response to many inquiries (and thanks for the responses).
I originally suspected Johne's Disease, but the latest victim is only
6months old (I think that would rule out OPP as well). My understanding
is that JD takes several years to manifest.
