[Jacob-list] Paralyzed Ewe?

[Sue Roenke]

Marie (my daughter, who now works at Cornell Sheep Farm, yeah!) said slinging her up will distribute the weight more evenly and may help.  You can rig up something over the barn rafters.  Also pregnancy toxemia, milk fever or deer worm.

There are some pregnancy related
issues that cause hindquarter weakness, but you would normally see loss
of appetite and attitude with those. When is she due to lamb?

  Good Morning Everyone:
   
  I have an older pregnant ewe, 9-10 years old, that cannot
stand.  Her back legs seem paralyzed.  She seems healthy and happy, is
eating, seems fine except she can't stand up.  She was fine
yesterday.   There doesn't seem to be any injuries to her.  Any ideas
or advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!
   
  Jason
