And this was another reply from Backyardchickens from another contributor.

Do you have nightshade growing in your fields? Or jimson weed? Do you have cherry trees? I think she has some kind of poisoning. You need to take her off the field and feed her hay and dose her with activated charcoal in kayro syrup. If it is cherry poisoning then the kayro syrup will counteract the cyanide. If it is jimson or nightshade the charcoal will help absorb the poisons. Jimson will cause permanent damage and animals poisoned by this have flashbacks like acid trips. Nightshade if it doesn't kill the animal can make them unthrifty. Good luck.

Thanks. Do you think that yours could have eaten a poisonous plant or something like that? How is your sheep doing?

Very possibly, as before that she got out of the pasture into the inlaws yard and flower garden! ( Is what they told me)!

My ewe, is doing great!!! Ya can't tell she ever had anything wrong with her now! She acts normal, and sticks with the herd and all that! I am going to chalk it up to a mild case of poisoning, I guess, as I could find nothing else wrong with her!!

That is awesome that yours is doing better!!!
