Sheep / Weaned my cayed lamb too early due to bloat
« Last post by Manuka on June 01, 2025, 09:49:54 pm »Has anyone had any experience with reintroducing milk due to weaning too early. My cayed lamb about 10 days ago went down with blaot. We passed a tube and it was frothy and green. We gave him some surfactant and he improved. Also some loxicam for the pain. We decided to stop feeding him milk in case this was the problem. He was 11.6kg at this point and was eating grass. The grass he is on is very lush. Hwoever over the last 10 days he won't eat much grass, a tiny bit of creep and tiny bit of hay. He is now 10.6kg and got diarrhea. I was thinking I might need to reintroduce milk as he's not getting enough energy. Does anyone have any advice. And also any brands of creep which are highly palatable cause he turns his nose at it.
