[blackbelly] sick lamb

[Nancy Richardson]

When we have one with pneumonia our vet has us give for a normal size lamb 1 
cc pen G , 1/2cc excenel and 1/2cc of a clear liquid that is for congestion 
but I don't know what that is. Right now I am dosing a preemie size and 
doing 1/2 dose of each. The whole thing is given 1 time a day and on the 
second does only the excenel and the clear. This is done for 3 - 5 days 
depending on how bad the lamb is. If a lamb has a runny nose and coughs 1 
day I start the next because the next day the runny nose stops and the 
congestion will set in and you don't catch it soon enough. Also We give 
probiotic and a little yogurt (1 or both) to help keep the good bacteria 
going. And keep down the scours. Also at times I give 1/2 cc of Vitamin B 
complex to help increase apatite and lower the stress of being sick. Hope 
this helps give everyone ideas. Nancy - Mossys Springs

[Blackbelly] sick lamb

[Nancy & Tom Richardson]

Hello, I know my jacobs are different but I have a question about a sick 
lamb perhaps someone may have seen in their balckbellies. He is a bottle 
baby first of all. About a month old. The first 2 weeks of his life he ate 
like a pig! now for the last 2 weeks I have been lucky to get 5 ounces of 
milk every 6 hours down him. He has gotten a little skinny. He has Kent lamb 
pellets, hay, mineral , baking soda and water all available and is in a pen 
inside with others that are half his age and eat more than he. He shows no 
real signs of eating hay, pellets etc. Any ideas? He doesn't have a snotty 
nose or anything and when he does eat he sucks hard and excitiedly.. Any 
help would be appreciated. Nancy   my email off list is 
cjarr...@centurytel.net

Enema worked for Bam Bam (when he was alive).  We had him isolated, so
we could easily tell if he was creating any output or not. If he went
more than 24  hours after eating with no poops, he'd get one. If he
ate little, but pooped little as well, he would not get one. After the
enema, he'd generally be hungry. He also got skinny as well, since he
literally was growing length-wise, but not gaining any actual weight.

Mark Wintermute is the expert on the enema subject.

If you look thru the archives, you can find the technique Mark taught me,

http://www.mail-archive.com/blackbelly%40lists.blackbellysheep.info/msg02354.html

I used a 5 or 8cc syringe and started with at least 10-15cc of veg.
oil, followed by water, for a total of about 35-45cc of fluid.

it might squirt out a bit after you press it in, but the time to stop
is when it truly gushes out.

it's messy to do, and I would suggest doing it outside, where it does
not matter.

Re: [Blackbelly] Sick lamb

Our little sick jacob - Jerry - is pooping fine so no enama. When I do do 
enamas I use warm soapy water. Seems to do a good job quickly and put 
vasaline on the end of what is normally used as a wormer syrenge it is 
bulbous at the end  so it doesn't poke or tear skin. He is still not eating 
well but Mark suggested perhaps pneumonia. I am going to try a mix of 1 1/2 
cc pen and 1/2cc nuflor once a day for 3 to 4 days to see if I get any 
improvement. Will keep everyone posted so if this happens again we all won't 
be in the dark. Thanks for the help. Nancy
