Every summer I struggle with this, when it gets hot. My sheep get
hot, then they pant, then they get runny noses and coughs which can
also turn into nose bots or a bloody nose sometimes. I figure I am
dealing with different stages of a respiratory infection from the
panting due to heat stress. I have found putting vitiaims in the water,
along with apple cider vinegar and a antibodic if it gets really bad,
helps. If my sheep get too congested, I have even given a cheap
antihistame in the grain to help dry them up.
