[Jacob-list] Lamb having trouble breathing or swallowing?

[Jason Anders]

How do you dose with activated charcoal?  We have never done this before.  Thanks so much.  It seems he does this after he eats in the morning when my son feeds them a little corn.  Our field is in the woods so it could be possible.

It sounds like laurel (azalea, rhododendron, mountain laurel would be suspects) poisoning. My neighbor's goats just went through this when they got into the azaleas. She just kept dosing with activated charcoal and they pulled through.

Good luck!
