    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    She was mostly unresponsive this morning, no energy whatsoever. We decided to euthanize her and end her suffering. We looked at her liver and lungs and they looked normal. We will be cleaning out the sheep shed and watching the other 2 for any signs. Thank you all SO MUCH for your help, we did...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    Her stool is solid now, so we are going to nurse her to build strength up and try another fecal in a few days or so (they didn't actually say how long we should wait). I think the thought is that since we had recently gave her the 2nd dose of panacur and she had ivermectin (not ivermectin plus...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    Vet said with all the dewormings we havd given her, a fecal would not be reliable. She had formed pellet stool late last night finally (YAY!!!). We got more fluids at the vet and she is getting them as I type. We got a nutrical type paste used for newborns, but the vet said it can't hurt her...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    I just finished reading all those comments. Fecal only tomorrow, hopefully it gives results. Thank you for the kind words. She has been a tough cookie so far, hopefully she pulls through! She was not like this when we got her. She arrived almost 3 weeks ago, all three looked great. A week into...

    She took a turn for the worse, was laying flat when the hubby checked on her this morning while I was at work. We thought we were going to have to euthanize her. He didn't give up though and gave her 400 mls of fluids and a nutrition/calorie supplement. She got more perky and was up and...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    Thank you for the glove/ziplock tip! I will do that tomorrow if the hubby can't get one 'au naturale' while I'm at work. The corid and thiamine/vit b... I feel like every time I try to research how to treat anything with our sheep/goats, there is always a bazillion methods and every one says...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    Thank you all so much! I am amazed at the response of everyone, you are all amazingly caring people <3 I am determined to get a stool sample tomorrow (even if I have to tape a bag to her butt!) and get it to the vet ASAP. She is sleeping now, so I will let her rest until tomorrow. I was worried...

    VERY lethargic and thin corsican sheep, fell down tonight.

    I have a 4 month old Corsican haired sheep. We bought her with another 4 month old and a 7 month old from the same farm (all ewes, unbred). This one is extremely lethargic, has had scours and tonight she fell down trying to turn away from me when I went to deworm her. They have all recieved one...
