We have a large handful of tame "bottle fed" (well Shepherdess fed) lambs and poor little No.2 is pooing through the eye of a needle
.
She is now half the size of all the others, happy in herself and grazing and eating lamb creep with as much enthusiasm as the others but has had diarrhoea since a very early age. She (and all the others) have had two doses of Animec clear oral wormer (ivermectin based) and a dose of Vecoxan, she has actually also had a second dose of Vecoxan as it really seems like it should be Cocci? Today went out and found that she has been straining so much to squeeze diarrhoea out that she has given herself a small anal prolapse. I have fetched her in and cleaned her up with warm soapy water and it has reduced of its own doing but comes out each time she has a bought of straining, I had a little feel up her anus but couldn't feel any firm faeces etc.
I am at a bit of a loss now until the vets open in the morning. Is it possible that she still has cocci despite the two Vecoxan doses? or can anyone suggest a better wormer to try or any other help or suggestions.
She is such a friendly cutey that she has already wormed her way (excuse the pun) into everyones hearts and can stay as a pet lamb if we can get her fixed
Thanks in anticipation
