Ewe down

horsemad

Hi all
I have a ewe that has just gone down in good condition dosed a month ago housed the start of jan.
She is due to lamb in the next month. She was fine yesterday and grubbed up like the rest.
Have given her 20 ml penicillin any other ideas

try her with a shot of calcium, some ewes are susceptible if they are carrying triplets

Get 100ml calcium into her ASAP and liquid lifeline or the like, most probably twin lamb disease

If your not sure call the vet. I would think calcium If that quick best straight into vein in neck, but if don't know call vet.

also check her udder for mastitis, had a bit more than normal this year for some reason

Thanks every one she responded to the calcium and is back to her old self

Don't want to sound negative, but keep a close eye on her for the next week as the lambs may have died in her , signs of this would be forcing/straining , off her food, raised temperature,

Is this the stuff yer on about ? was going to get a bottle to have on hand before lambing starts
