Thanks!!

Could you attach the link again? It didn’t show up. Thanks!!

I treated my lambs with Toltrazuril about a month ago and their poop firmed up. I just noticed today one has diarrhea again. She’s still eating and drinking and acting normal. I’m assuming it’s coccidia again since that’s what showed up on my fecal a month ago. I treated everyone with...

Thank you for all the advice! I will treat all the lambs and report back on how they are doings. The one with loose stool isn’t that bad yet. Actually I think it had firmed up a bit even without treating so I think I am catching it early on. And maybe part of the issue is diet change as I...

I posted this in another string, but wasn't sure if anyone would see it. I have 3 adult sheep, 2 adult goats, and 4 4H lambs. They are all housed together on pasture with the 4H lambs separated at night and for feeding. 1 of the 4H lambs has loose stool. Fecal showed coccidia at +++ (great...

My lambs are doing well now! No more mystery fluids in the barn. We have two batches of lambs from two different farms (two from each farm). They are all together with our regular herd now. One of our newest lambs has loose stool so I sent in a fecal and she has coccidia at +++, so I plan to...

Yeah you are probably right. Their hay is nicely green so maybe it’s just regurgitation. These guys are younger than the ones we got last year and I’m super paranoid! Thanks for your input!

Thanks!

Do you think I should keep increasing the grain slowly?

Maybe they chocked then and threw up? I’ve seen them cough here and there. I keep trying to witness them poop but no luck so far.

They are 6 weeks and 7.5 weeks. Both were weaned prior to us taking them and eating grain and hay free choice.

We got lambs for 4H on Saturday. We have the 2 lambs penned together inside our small barn while they acclimate. I noticed yesterday that one has a smelly watery green substance on her back. I also noticed the same substance in the pen on the bedding this am. There was also at least one fresh...

My goats don’t like goat minerals and will only eat sheep minerals. I have tried different brands and no luck. They eat hay and a handful of grain a couple times a week. I add minerals to the grain when I give it but one goat has some coat fading. I gave him a kid size copper bolus (he’s a 40...

Just wanted to post another update! My little goat is doing great. He’s eating normally and living with the rest of the herd full time now. I’m in Michigan and we had terrible cold weather last week. -35 with the wind chill. I had to baby him a bit and bring him inside for more warm ups than...

Dilly. He has a twin brother named Willy lol. My kids named them.

Now he’s out in the pasture eating hay and leaves like no big deal lol. I do wonder if having the dead bone fragment and wire out feels better too. I’m sure the bone fragment sticking out of his gum didn’t feel good.

Still at vet. The sedation they gave him makes him hungry so they brought me some hay to see if he’ll eat it. And he did. So guess I’ve just been spoiling him too much lol.

Xrays showed some bone missing in the front of his jaw and he may lose the rest of his front teeth but the back looks really good and his tongue looks good. Vet says I can continue to offer small pieces of hay but his tongue and lips work good so he should be able to eat regular hay just fine...

Well we’re waiting on xrays but the vet said the white thing I saw is bone. His wire shifted and didn’t hold all the pieces together so some pieces died and are making their way out. However it seems to have healed enough to be functional. They said he seems happy enough and since he can eat...

Thank you! He seems about the same today as yesterday. Eating grain well, still not much hay but drinking really well. I did notice him following the herd around the pasture more but he still likes to hang back in the barn quite a bit. My husband thinks his pain level isn’t bad enough to...
