I haven't tried this remedy on sheep since I haven't been in the unfortunate position of having a patient with severe diarrhea. I worked on a dairy raising 300 to 400 calves in confinement a season. Whenever we had a calf with a bad problem we broke out the pepto bismol. The supply house had it in gallon jugs. We used one of the large syringes without the needle, drew a dose and squeezed it into their mouths. They actually loved it. Our doesage was two or three times a day. A couple of days of treatments was usually all that was required though some continued to get worse.
The best way I found to graft a lamb onto another ewe was to stantion it in a small 3' X 3' pen with her head locked in one end with access to food and water. This prevents her from running off the lamb so they can get milk and obtain the scent of the ewe. After 3 days let the ewe loose and keep them in a small pen and see if she accepts the lamb.
