[Jacob-list] sheep update... still need some advise

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

My biggest advise is to keep up with probiotics.? And sometimes that isn't enough... I had one get REALLY sick.. between the fever, the antibiotics and? God knows what else she had going on.... Anyhow.. I saw a 1000000000% improvement with a dose of fresh Rumen fluid... Mickey Ramirez (Broken O) was a literal lifesaver of this gal, as she picked up the rumen fluid from?CSU for me and met a friend who was up that way... and was the first leg of the Rumen Fluid Relay that got it to me that afternoon.? We tubed her with 2 doses of the rumen fluid.. and NOT EXAGGERATING... She was feeling great about 12 hours after her 1st dose.? I truly believe that the good bugs and nutrition she received in the rumen juice was what turned her around.?

Hello,

Shirly, the lamb that I wrote in about the other day, is still not feeling
well.  Yesterday was her third day of five of penicillin and her last day
of banamine.  She is still not 100%.  Her abdomen is sunken in like she
hasn't eaten much.  I am wondering if you can give sheep banamine for
longer than three days because I think she still needs it.  She is
grinding her teeth a bit even after she gets it.  Yesterday we broke out
the naxcell and gave her 1ml.  Hopefully that will help.  If she survives
this, I'll have to sell her after shearing to help buy a new bottle.  If
anybody has any ideas or anything, please reply.  I am giving her
penicillin, B complex, banamine, and probiotics.  Also, 1 dose of naxcell.

Thanks,

Hannah K
