Sorry I have only just seen this.  I hope you were able to help your sheep.

I found this (https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/combivit-withdrawl.171918/) thread on the Farming Forum.  Last post says that BIMEDA's vit B1 works.  Still have to get it from the vet, mind.

interestingly enough human vitamin b1 is the same just be mindful of different strengths
