After sleeping most of the afternoon and investing in some pain killer and vaporization deal ( I cant remember what they're called) I feel much better.

Apparently, the ewes broke into the chicken coop yesterday and ate ALL of the grain. They didn't tell me till today. Bertha bloated really bad and they had to go get some meds for her. They threw in a bloat block. They were pretty runny today and lethargic. Every one should be fine. I am really grateful it was the ewes have had already lambed and not the pregnant ones.

I am glad that they are going to be ok

Those ewes! What's a bloat block Brownsheep?

 

[CocoNUT]

That sucks! Glad it wasn't the pregnant ewes too...phew!

A bloat block is something our feed store sells. It carries medication to prevent bloat along with molasses and minerals...The one we use might actually be labeled for cow use but the manager raises sheep and he uses it. Our sheep love them and weve never have had an issue with it. This is probably the third time weve used one. Bertha is really sensitive to bloat. She's bloated on hay even though she had been on the stuff for weeks.

If you google bloat gaurd blocks it will give you a whole slew of block brands to use.
