Q: what is 'regular'?
Q: what type of wormer did you use?
It may be that you need to worm again, and with
something
different. There is several types of parasites, and
some
can become immune to the type of wormer if used all
the
time.
You could try some Kaeopectate or Pepto
Bismal.
Boluses are also available at the feed
stores.
Also, you didn't mention where you are. Is it
possible they ate some vegitation that was mildly poisonous?

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.
