From: Tom and Judy Riddolls (grey_wethers_farm)
Date: 03/28/06


so in the last few hours i have had several comment that it could be 
parasitic insects, and mild pregnancy toxima.  It has gotten mild here in 
the last week, below zero before that.  The insect thing sounds possible as 
because the two of them are snorting a lot, i hear them from the house, they 
sound like that are clearing their noses from hay bits, snorting a weezing 
and i suppose symptoms would come one at the same time if it were time 
dependant.  The too much sugar thing i'm not sure about as it is silver 
maple sap and not sugar maple sap and so low in sugar content (1%) and they 
really did not have much,

yes they always attack the grain bucket but not like this.  I gave them a 
few more scoops to bring their daily amount up to about 3/4 pound, i was 
told late pregnancy should be up to a full pound of grain.  they are really 
starting to look big these days.

It is their eyes that are bothering me, ther eis an obvious dialation in the 
pupils, like a diabetic that is way off the scale and their blood chemistry 
is so out of wack their muscles are doing funny things.  Also they avoid the 
bright light.

By 6 the more fit ewe was doing better, eating like normal, but the other 
one who is very skinny still acts bad, not affectionate and skitterish. 
twitchy.  I reduced the minerals for the day just in case it was a 
blood/salt this and they were energy starved or some such thing.

we'll wait and see. thanks foir the replies
Tom
