Poor Ewe
Author: Cyndi

My ewe which just had a lamb about 3 weeks ago, is very poor and looks unhealthy. She has a good appetite and doesn't appear to have any other abnormal symptons. I am wondering if there is a vitamin or something out there I could give her to help get her back in shape?

If she is eating and healthy then it could be that she is losing condition
to feed her lamb. You might try to increase the amount that you feed her.

If you think the lamb is pulling down the ewe, you might want to start the lamb on supplemental milk, Do you have a mineral or protein lick for the ewes?
when was the ewe wormed last? Don't get to excited or go overboard on the feed, as that might cause another problem. Sheep teach you patience.
