If she were mine I .would give her Pen g twice a day about 6cc and do it
for 5 days I would also give her probiotics to keep rumen in check but that
would just be for my sheep. and is just my opinion. I would maybe call a vet
to check for sure. Nancy

Hi every one, I have a young ewe that got caught in the fence. I thought
her leg might be broken at first.
Because she is turned out in a large field and it would take a bit of
chasing to get her caught I decided to watch her for a week or two to see
what kind of progress she made. Well her swelling is way down but she is
still not right. I finally decided to bit the bullet and bring her in. The
catching went surprisingly smooth. Turns out she has a cut up under her
thigh. It is very infected at this point. I flushed it out with iodine and
packed it to keep the flies out. I gave her a shot of Pen-G. My question
is what is the best antibiotic for this situation? Pen-G,La 200 ????
Any input would be great!
Thanks,
Erin

It pretty much depends on how bad off your ewe is. I have had much
success
with LA-200 in similar situations. I would clean the wound daily flushing
it out with hydrogen peroxide. If there is a deep pocket, puncture, or
difficult area to access I flood that area after cleaning with Pen-G.
Feed
the ewe extra well. I have seen truly amazing healing capabilities from
these sheep.
