thanks Dougal that is reassuring, she is out and eating with gusto!

Just a thought - it couldn't be Johnnes could it ?   Sheep will be thin but eating well and showing very little sign of illness in the early stages.  If the other suggestions above don't work, perhaps it might be worth having her tested for it.  Cheers!

thanks yes its always a consideration; I'l see ho w things go but at the moment am hopeful its just a blip in the usual run of things.

Jones disease usually has a really horrible green scour, also has a really distinctive smell. if it is jones the ewe won't recover but it is usually pretty rare.
