Bottle fed lamb with milky scours
« on: April 25, 2012, 09:17:32 am »
My little hypothermic lamb now suckles for England but his 'toffee' coloured droppings have turned to scours (blimey they do smell!), although in himself he is bright and alert.  Should they just dry up over time, he does have access to creep and grass.
1 horse, 2 ponies, 4 dogs, 2 Kune Kunes, a variety of sheep

I had a couple like this and it just cleared up after a week or so... they can scour so easily due to milk temp, getting cold, milk too rich, but as long as they are bright in themselves they should be ok...
