... just use me as an example of what NOT to do.
Noticed earlier last week that my mama ewe, Draighean, was looking kind thin-ish. She was blowing her hair coat, though, so I didn't think too much about it, until a day later I noticed she looked SKINNY. Got Nick to roll her on her butt, and checked her mucous membranes.
White as snow.
Treated her with Valbazen and gave supportive therapy, and she made it to the morning. She showed a bit of spunk in the morning, but knew she wasn't out of the woods.
She was dead by the time we got home from work.
The weather has been cosmically wet, so the parasites are having a hay day. (Hey day?) ANYhow, everyone else got wormed with Valbazen, and I'll hit them all with Safeguard next week.
I may give them Cydectin the week after that.
It's a good idea to keep an extra watchful eye on the stock while things are so soggy wet.

I'm so sorry. Glad you're willing to share so we can learn but I'm sorry you lost her.

Sorry. In wet weather al always moved the flock to the front and back lawn, which is higher. The septic field is good too because of the sand and gravel under the grass.

Sorry you lost her pony. Thanks for reminding me about parasitic activity during rainy seasons.

There are times it is hard raising livestock. Am sorry for your loss.
I have to have mine on a deworming schedule here,, I used to do fecals... but it always came up the same.. I have to de worm about every 8 weeks... if not, the worm load gets crazy. Am no longer breeding and these are just lawn mowers.
