I was able to get lamb nursing but she immediately was trying to get away like she was painful. Teets are very swollen and full. Hmmm... Smells baby but quickly pushes away so let them be for a bit. Maybe just need some time so I will wait 2 hours before intervening again.

Here she is with lamb. They are in a bigger portion of barn as she was not having the smaller area. Hopefully it's ok

@Mini Horses she is a Pyrenees akbash Anatolian mix who has been with the sheep since she was several weeks old. Last year because she was so young I kept her separate at lambing time. For the past 6 months the dog has been in the pasture with the entire herd of ewes. This is mainly for...

Our 2 year old dog was around for her first lambing and attacked the ewe, killed one of the babies. The ewe was crying around her deceased baby and did not want to leave. Being put in pasture I had to pick up well lamb and get Mom to barn. I never pick up lambs right away but this was an...

Update to this. Vet came out and literally just pinched it and with a quick pull it was off. Small amount of bleeding and done. She said may grow back but nothing to worry about. Didnt even catch what she called it.

Is it not too late in year to spray? I pulled the ones I could but also on 5 acres there are a bunch I just am not going to get.

I think I'm gonna continue to hand pick the perilla plants I see out and put boys.back in this area.the next few days. I don't have extra pasture or area for them and they are currently in my back yard but no much left for them to get eat. Will not use Roundup anymore although I did use it...

Vet is kind to us.... it is a lot more but waiting for her to come out to our area. Not bothering ewe and mass not changing so not terribly worried.

Everyone seems overall ok. I actually keep thinking about the perilla. We have these in many spots in the pasture and has been there for years. I know the smell and have been cutting in forever. So I'm just so hesitant to think it was that. Besides the fact that we cut the pasture they were in 2...

Can't upload videos and I'm just freaking out. Sheep are so hard to figure out what's going on!!

She is ok....I think....we have other things going on at farm . Did get better photo today

@farmerjan well I have seen this at store but was not one of the options given by the vet. I will ask tomorrow though. I need help though. I'm super worried obviously but after deworming and vaccinating all the sheep on the farm last night I kept them in the barn off feed overnight. Let them...

Readjusted plan : giving CDT, panacur, prohibit and cydectin tonight. Not treating for coccidia yet will get more individual fecal samples tested Monday to verify if all affected. Super worried as these ewes are bred/being bred so hopefully everyone will be ok. Any additional advice appreciated

Treating 13 sheep for coccidia with sulfamed for days is very expensive and I don't even know if store carries enough bottles. Anyone have experience with this specifically

Vet check fecal and They was loaded in coccidia and strongyles. Fecal was done a month and a half ago and was negative after deworming so totally confused. With sheep currently being bred or in first trimester what dewormers can I give? Any advice here?

I did immediately. I'm not sure how to get rid of it at this time of the year....ugh.... monitoring everyone closely.

It's so odd but so know there are unfortunately many causes for sudden death. I wish sheep showed us more signs. Did identify lots of purple mint/ perilla where they were last night which as I mentioned was also cut day prior so likely tons everywhere cut up. Maybe the cause? Still vaccinating...

Update. The vet did a preliminary necropsy and did find that her lungs seemed a little bit darker suggestive of potential pneumonia. Although the sheep did show no signs of respiratory distress or changes prior.No signs of any poisonous plant ingestion on exam. Ingestion of purple mint was...

Hello. I have a 10-month-old ewe lamb katahdin who was found dead this morning. This ewe was a bottle lamb after her mother died at birth (had posted about this last October) Ewe is on pasture with 12 other sheep. Fecal done last month no parasites after deworming. Ewes including this one have...
