Any quick advice

AnFeirmeoir

Ewe 6weeks out from lambing appears blind. Theeth chattering she's just standing facing corner. Gave her liquid life aid and 10ml of calcium .afraid to give her more in case it sends her over the edge
Any advice?

eorna

are her eyes clouded over?? or the eyes look normal but appears blind?? if the first put her on her own in a small pen , make sure she can get access to hay/silage and give her nuts, that will keep her going,antibiotic under the eye lid..she wont be able to compete with the others otherwise..if the second, time is critical and i think 10 ml is too low calcium for TLD i do give them more (50/60), keep glucose up and put her somewhere she can graze a bit of grass to keep system going..had both cases a few times

Thanks eorna went back out to her her chattering seemed better. Gave her another 10 ml calcium and it seemed to get worse so I chickened out. I'll leave her a while and see.
Her eyes are clear.

I wouldn't be afraid to go 100ml of calcium. She could be in shock after going blind

I would guess at twin lamb disease or listerosis is she on silage and what level of meal is she getting?
