Well, she definitely looks well fed. ;) What do you feed, how much and how often? Could be instead of getting too little of any one mineral or nutrient that she's getting too much.

Here's a scary but informative site for sheep folks...could be you'll find something on there that rings a bell:

Also, she had just finished eating her sweet feed for the day so that's probably why she seems to look that way lol. Actually, her spine is starting to be felt a bit more pronounced than what I'd prefer.

I have NOT read the entire thread but at a glance of the video.... have you ever treated her for meningeal worm?

Ideally, I'd be talking to my vet about getting her some dexamethasone and treating for M worm as a precaution. Can you find any vets in your area?

I don't have sheep, only goats. Just my first thought though.
