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

[Donnangelo, Nick]

I am not a vet, but would like any vets on the list to comment; I
thought that steroids are absolutely contraindicated when pneumonia is
suspected.  Nick

Those are both great ideas.  I am going to give her some IV fluids
tomorrow morning.  Hopefully that will give her a boost.
I listened to her lungs.  Her breathing sounds very labored and raspy. 
There is definately liquid in there.  I know that she cannot go on
breathing like this for many more days.  This afternoon we gave her 1ml
of
dexamethasone.

I check on my animals at least once a day and this was very sudden.  Is
that common?  Did I just miss something?
