Overrun with beasties
hey guys, learning curve with sheep is steep. I'm learning a ton being here though. So I have been checking famacha score on all my sheep fairly regularly and up till last week never had an issue. My bottle baby ram started to get pail eyelids so decided to worm him (all the rest look good). Wormed him 2x last week as was recommended by my sheep lady but I used ivermectin only to find out that its completely ineffective here.
Baby developed bottle jaw suddenly last night so I have been treating aggressively. Gave him a dose of cydectin and prohibit today with an iron shot and B complex. I didn't realize that the prohibit wasn't fully dissolved though so that was likely underdosed but cydectin was a full dose. I have also given him nutri drench too. His face swelling looks a lot better this afternoon. Last night it was like a softball on his chin. Very startling to see it happen so quickly.
Here are my questions:
Do I need to repeat the cydectin or prohibit?
Do I need to repeat the iron or B complex and if so when?
I really will be heartbroken if I lose him. I lost his mom a few months ago from something unrelated and she was my favorite ewe. At this point I'm just kinda throwing everything I can at him and hoping I'm doing the right thing.
