Have you tried giving him some Coccidiosis medicine or antibiotics in case there is a chronic infection causing the scours? How about some Probios to help his digestion?
We had one ewe that did this periodically, we treated with anitboitics whenever she got them and eventually they stopped, although she always was on the thin side, but she produced plenty of milk and raised beautiful lambs.

His wool is bad and he is boney. I have wormed him etc. He is still being bottled because of his bad health. He started getting scours when he was about 3 weeks old and gets them periodically. They are a grey color normally. I give pepto etc and they go away. But no growth. He drinks milk egarly and does graze. I have good alfalfa hay for him to eat and he does eat hay. Any ideas? I have not had this problem before or since. He is in a pen with 25 other lambs and they don't have any problems.
