hello I am new to this forum.
was wondering if any body could help, to be clear we are relative newbees in sheep, and have just received three ewes back after a little brake at a friends house after a year as we were moving, and on coming back after two days or so one was obviously a bit unwell, front feet going down then back and staying down, panting too, getting worse quickish, she was is big and was worried about bloat initially then on consultation with vet said possible bloat but also consider calcium/magnesium deficient, so drenched and she seems to be getting better, then when out to do a wee reckey day or so latter, and theres a sheep down on its side can't get up, arr ****** she a gonna i thought but it was a different one, I rolled her over and she popped up no bother, she is also looking big around the wast and was clearly struggling to get back on her legs.
so could these be related issues, and is it possible that they could be too fat? if so should I limit there grazing,
(i limited the first which I drenched for two days on hay) but back in field now.
thank you ross
