Oh.. well get a fecal run... high parasite loads will exacerbate other issues. There are several things that will look alike... I do want you to know that they do not always circle.... but honestly I would get your vet out ASAP.

More questions...

Is this ewe bred or open? If she is bred, when is she due?

What are you feeding your sheep? What have they been vaccinated for?

She walked into a wall...Is she going blind?

Took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with Overeating disease as well as sheep polio. Currently fighting a fever and keeping our fingers crossed that she makes it.

SheepGirl, she is going blind because of the polio. Her vision might come back when it has passed...hopefully...if she survives at all.

Glad you got her in! i am a little surprised, although the symptoms are almost identical Polio usually affects lambs/kids. Glad for the diagnosis! Hope she pulls through for you! :hugs
