I'm guessing you've taken their
temperature.
You may have to give the same amount of wormer
3 days in a row. Or,
Give a different wormer of a different wormer
family. (Like Panacur and Safeguard are the same family. They're the same
thing.) But if you gave Safeguard, then give Ivomec or Cydectin (different
families). Or, if they've had about all the wormers regularly, try giving
Probotics (available at Tractor Supply --open Sundays 'til 6pm) or
acidolpylus--lacto bacillous (sp?) to put back the natural flora. This stuff
won't hurt them.
Right now, that's all I can think of.

Subject: [blackbelly] Need your input on
a problem
We have a small herd of Blackbellys and are experiencing a
problem. We wanted to put this out to your readers to see if anyone has
also experienced this problem. We worm on a regular basis and are
currently feeding hay and a grain/corn mixture. The feed mixture is
limited to a gallon a day between 10 head. So we know we are not over
feeding. The animals all appear to be healthy with good appetites.
We have amply pasture (6 acres) that they can move freely over. Our
problem is we have two otherwise healthy young ewes (one is 2 years, one is 10
months) that have very loose stools. We put them up in the barn and gave
them sulfur pills for several days but this does not seemed to have
helped. We are going to have to call the vet but wanted to know if any
of your readers had experienced this problem also. We also have not
tested their! stools but no visible worms can be seen. We also do not
think it is worms as we worm them on a regular basis. Any info
appreciate.
