I bought some sheep at the York Rare Breed Sale on October 6th, and all has been well until just under a week ago. They've all been quarantined in a small paddock (and still are); as soon as they got here, they were all drenched with Albex and heptavacced within the week. Second jab pending.
Now, when I got them, some of the stock was thin, and because there are so many in my quarantine paddock, I've been feeding plenty of hay since they got here. The grass is very short, but they still nibble. I would also feed a small amount of coarse mix, grass pellets and crushed oats once a day, but I stopped this once I noticed that two lambs had started to scour quite badly (dark green/brown) about 5 days ago. Out of 25, they are the only two that are scouring, and it's persisting. They are Ryeland ewe lambs, and about 6/7 months old, but the flock is a mixture of breeds, and there are 8 other Ryelands.
I'd say of the lambs that came to me, they are two that came in better condition than most. They are chunky (not fat), and well built. They weren't sickly, but they do look a bit lethargic now (I would too, if my poop came out like a puddle). They were very clearly used to being fed and knew what a feed bucket meant, but to be honest I wasn't feeding a lot, just enough to keep things friendly and to have a routine.
Any suggestions? I'm in the North East, a bad region for pasturella and fluke, so I wasn't going to take risks with un-vaccinated stock.
Thanks!
