Hi, we had hurricane Frances come thru and knock down tons of acorns last week. One of our sheep apparently gorged herself on them and is now bloated and constipated - very little feces being passed. We have shot mineral oil down her throat a couple of times - maybe 1/2 a cup each time and we've done a warm water enema, but she is still bloated and in pain. Does anyone have any other ideas? I checked the merck manual and it really had no info on what to do about this on ruminants, just horses. We are trying to keep her up and walking around rather than laying down.
The odd thing is that she is still grazing to some degree, although I have not seen her chewing her cud - she won't eat any grain at feeding time.
