New forest disease
« on: October 02, 2015, 09:56:10 pm »
has anyone had this before ? I haven't heard of it until today. One of our lambs has had a weepy eye for 2 days and his eye has developed a white glassy effect today so I rang the vets straight away and its NFD very common apparently ??? It's spread by flies. It's really easy to treat so just thought I'd share this info in case anyone else gets the symptoms.

Yes cows get it too ... causes blindness if not treated.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Our vets are great I always ring them at the first sign of any illness ! The lamb is on antibiotics so fingers crossed they work quick  :fc:
