Dietary, probably. I've a couple of ewes who have loose bowels much of the time, but have yearly lambs and are otherwise healthy.
Strongyles is a small roundworm. 2 eggs is a very small amount and older sheep become worm resistant to an extent.
It will be interesting to see if her scours resolves across the winter when you feed her on some form of dried grass. My 2 'Scourers' almost always improve at this time.

Thank you all again for your support and advice. I'm always afraid to post on message boards with questions about a sick animal because a handful of people always go on the attack. Such a nice feeling being here. Thank you!
