Sounds to me like part of it is they gorged themselves on green grass... and it could have caused a toxic reaction in their system...You should feed them and make sure they have eaten hay, then let them out for an hour or 2 a day for 2-3 days, then a few hours for another 2-3 days... If they will come for grain, give them just a little, and free choice hay, then let them out and then call them back in for more grain before they can overdo it...
Could have just been too much all at once. Sometimes it will affect them if their gut tract is not used to it, there were no microbes that could handle all that grass at once...
I would NOT worm them again at this point. They have had 2 kinds, 10 days apart... their gut tract needs a rest from the chemicals...
If they are eating good, skip the Vit B-12... I don't see where it will help them any as it is mainly for appetite stimulation. Doesn't sound like they are having trouble in that way.
Do you have a vet you use for them? I would call and see if they do fecal exams on sheep... If so, a couple of baggies so you can get a few pellets from each one... and take to have them examined. They will tell you what worms and how much infestation if any. Then worming again can be addressed....
And yeah, checking for a toxic plant with a phone app like @Baymule suggested...
