WHEN EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN IS SHAKEN, THE ANCHOR THAT HOLDS IS THE WISDOM OF THE CROSS. (Jason Upton, Key of David Ministries, from the CD 1200 ft below sea level)

If you want to see God's power at work, you must get out of the church and into the world. Watch the extravagant lengths which God will go to reveal Himself to people who don't know Him. Then you will learn how truly awesome our God is. (Author Unknown)

Oh no, no no,....I also do the same thing with bunny pellets-just have to remember that my non-animal owning friends don't consider it appropriate mealtime conversation, lol.

I guess it's a little weird to be getting excited about sheep pellets :-)

Today Olivia has real pellets - still slightly soft, but close to normal. Monday she received her second round of Sustain (which is a time release sulfamethazine). ?I realized that I had underdosed on the kaolin (was using a dog dosage) on Sunday, so on Monday, she also got two doses of 4 ounces each of Kaolin. ?



Some of the suggestions I received privately were:

whipworms, which do not always show up in a flotation fecal egg count - needs to be centrifuged, which we didn't do. Would have done that if the sustain didn't work.

Clostridium was mentioned. Olivia is up to date on her shots, but clostridium could have caused the upset and was something I'd thought about. I've read that many undiagnosed ailments may be clostridium. I tend to think that the CDT is mostly for tetanus and need to be reminded that it protects against more than tetanus.

Irritable bowel syndrome was jokingly suggested, but who knows - maybe sheep do get ibs.



This has gone on with Olivia for over three weeks. No other sheep has exhibited anything except normal pellets. Olivia is "cured", but I still can't say for sure just what she had. Sometimes you just got to be satisfied with recovery :-)
