Last week I put some pictures on the Blackbelly Facebook page of a ewe which 
looked sick. 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?
