I've recently got three Herdwicks - born last April so not quite a year old yet. One of them has terrible scour and has had for about three days. Vet advised I go to local farm supplies shop and get a wormer - they gave be Ovidrench so I caught them and dosed them. However, I'm not sure the one that's ill got the full dose as I was struggling to hold on to her and get the dosing gun in her mouth, will it do more harm than good if I dose her again (was dosed two days ago)?
She was really under the weather but is slightly better but scour is terrible and she's still a bit miserable.
I grew up on a hill farm so I'm used to sheep but it's harder when you've only got three that you can see out of your house window than when you have 600 out on a fell so I'm really worried about her!
I called our vet again this morning and was told he'd phone me back but hasn't yet.
Any help, advice, reassurance greatly received.
