Cecil What kind of co lustrum have you used. I have been keeping up with this as I have a wether that is loose. I have done the vet thing and everything they tell me to do does not work. I am keeping baking soda out for him and that is all at this time. no more worming, meds, etc. I keep probios around for the horses but have not given him any. I would like to try somthing that that is not harsh on him. He eats well. drinks a lot. he is the barn buddy. the dogs love him. the cats love him. the horses tolerate him enough he can get in their feed with them. that I wish would stop but unless I cage him that wont happen. he does not know he is a sheep so I jut let him run. he is happy and healthy except pooping like a duck.
ps i think ok is great. we do not have to worry about falling off into the ocean. we do not have to worry about hurricanes and i sure no how to get out of the way of a tornado. heck i am learning how to chase the darn things with our emergency team. what fun, what fun. oneta -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 9:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [blackbelly] Barb's Poopy Little Wether In a message dated 3/10/2005 4:46:15 PM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I actually think I see some improvement, but it's not measurable. I am just hoping that whatever was in there was knocked out before it did permanent damage. The digestive system is so fragile! Barb: You have had so much free advice. Perhaps I can suggest some more. You may have tried this. Sometimes I ahve tried sprinkling colustrum (freeze Dried) on their feed. It has a beneficial effect and puts all the good fauna and flora in the digestive tract. You could give it as a drench also, but if he will eat grain or sweet feed, then I would mix some in with the feed. It has helped a couple of my ewes that just would not get solid... I have one ewe that just cannot get a solid stool. Always looks like a calf just passed thru. Had a wether like that also. Nothing wrong with them, just did not get pellets. Wether is gone, ewe has one lamb.
