[Blackbelly] lambs with colds

2008-01-28 Thread Nancy Tom Richardson
Thanks for the advice on shots. I usually give 1 cc pen and1/2cc of  excenel 
once a day and if they are really bad another dose of penn in the evening. I 
do this for 3 - 5 days depending on how sick. It normally is a great fix. I 
just hate the whole idea of shooting such a little thing.  I think I will 
see if they get over the cold on their own. It doesn't seem to be affecting 
any of the other lambs they are with. And they are eating like pigs even 
nibbling pellets. Nancy

Hi Nancy,
There are some good holistic products out there on the web. If you visit 
www.wolfcreekranch.com they have products for cough and cold that you could 
try. They are very detailed in whats in their formulas so you can see if 
something won't work for sheep. I think their product called Pets cough and 
cold formula would be safe to administer to a lamb based on the ingredient list.
