[blackbelly] bottlejaw

[Stephanie Jones]

I'm in need of advice over bottlejaw.  I have a ewe that lambed twins 1 month ago.  She was wormed with Ivermec when she began to show signs of bottlejaw, approximately 2 weeks ago.  We wormed her again last Sat. with 1.0 cc Ivermec, as she weighs 90 lbs.  We still see no improvement and the bottlejaw is getting worse.  She is nursing the twins fine, but there is a slimmy mucus on her hide quarters and hips.  Any suggestions?  Can we worm again?  Do I need to change wormers? Did I give her enough Ivermec?  Help please!!! She's a good mother that has twins each lambing and I'd hate to loose her.
