Ewes with diaddhea
« on: April 24, 2021, 11:13:25 am »
Hello
My grandson was given a lamb to bottle feed 2 years ago he/we now have 4 ewes and 4 lambs, the Ewes have had diarrhea for a week now, (they were wormed prior to lambing season)  we are washing their bums to try and keep clean.
ANY Advice would be much appreciated as I am really a bit if a townie and new to all this.
2 ewes were 2019 bottle fed lambs and  had lambs this year  the other 2 ewes are  2020 bottle fed.
First 2 years we did really well, this year as been an uphill struggle losing 3 lambs

Take a sample to your vet for them to look at, could be anything- fluke, worms (and resistant to wormer you used) or just spring grass.
