I have just lost my favourite ewe to chronic fluke
(Confirmed by PM)
We have never had an issue with fluke before so this came as a surprise. All sheep have been routinely dosed for fluke and this particular ewe was given an extra dose 2 weeks ago as she had lost weight and I was covering all bases.
I have lost a number of lambs this year too which is not normal for us, born dead or if born alive they were very small and weak and haven't lasted very long.
Got the vet in to do blood tests etc and the ewe died right when he arrived.
Anyway... My question is, none of my other ewes apart from one have lost weight or are showing signs of being unwell apart from losing lambs, what are the chances of them making a full recovery from the fluke? They have all been given a dose of flukiver and a multi vit, they are well fed and the ewes with lambs have been moved onto fresh decent grazing.
Can I do anything else?
