Coughing Castlemilk Moorit
« on: November 28, 2014, 04:56:15 pm »
One of my Castlemilk Moorit ewes has been coughing for the past couple of weeks but up until now I have not been too worried by it thinking that as she is a very greedy eater that she has something stuck in her throat. The coughing fits last about 20 seconds and then she carries on as normal. She has recently been showing a slight nasal discharge, yellowy-green in colour. Apart from this she is eating normally, always on the scrounge for a tit bit, within the past week has been tupped and appears as bright as a button. Any ideas? 

Regards, David

Have they been wormed recently ? as the easiest to treat reason for coughing is LUNGWORM using  a standard wormer .
