Hi any advice as vet seems busy.... lhave sheep that I sheared this week.  She was brought in allowed to dry off and was then put in with another sheep, and sheered  (other sheep is a reovering casualty who lost sight from magpies/crows).  She came in bright and lively but over last two days has become quiet and very docile. This morning she has clear mucus from nose and is wheezing - not interested in food or water when normally pony treats she will soff as quickly as you can feed her plu not willing to move at all,  in same position place yesterday and today.
 
Apart from keeping her warm - rang vet and till waiting for call back - advice so far jut o keep her warm -

Sounds like pneumonia from housing her.  She needs an antibiotic straight away - I use Terramycin LA for lung things.  You also need to keep her moving.  Stand her up at least every two hours, using bales along her sides to hold her up if necessary, but not under her tummy as that will put too much of a strain on her heart, lungs and digestive system.  She will need to stand to burp and pass urine and droppings, plus of course lying in one position cuts off the blood supply to the legs.
 
When did she last drink?  You can use a large syringe (minus needle) to get fluids into her.

With sheep, it's always best to treat immediately you notice something is not quite right as they can die very quickly

Exactly as Fleecewife says 
Hope you can get the antibiotics into her in time

Any update on your ewe jaj?

I hope the vet has been by now, Fleecewife is probably right, pneumonia due to housing. Sad how they survive all that weather outside only to go down with something when you bring them in. Def antibiotics  in this case but also fluids are crucial. If you haven't got any get some electrolytes, lifeaid or something similar. Dehydration would be her worse enemy. Good luck and keep us informed.
