Title: Ram doesn’t seem very energetic
Post by: Farmboss64 on June 20, 2021, 12:28:16 am

I never used to be able to go up to my ram without him being wild and running away I noticed him in the shed standing there not wanting to move that much and I went right up to him and he didn’t move gave him water and food but didn’t want it looks like he has been loosing weight not many signs to tell me that something is wrong with him any help?

Call the vet. Nobody can diagnose him over the internet.

This time of year my first thought would be fly strike. Sometimes they get 1000s of tiny maggots which aren't apparent unless you look really closely.
