| | We had a pen of lambs get hit really hard with coccidiosis. Thought we caught it and started treating it in time. Lambs took quite a while to recover and now I'm fighting a washed out topline. Lambs weren't like that before. Does anyone have any tips to put a topline back in lambs? I'm currently just pushing the feed since they have time. At the end of May they'll start getting a top dress as well. Just want to give them the best chance to recover. Thanks!

Administrator | Normal feed and time. Takes a while to recover from the damage to the digestive tract. I wouldn't stress that with more "new" stuff.

|  | Agree with KY. Just have to stare at pathetic sheep for a while. Same happened to us 2 years ago. Its an ugly sight.

| | I would follow KCSheep advice and use the OG drench..several years ago about two weeks before my spring sale I had an outbreak of coccidiosis in some just weaned lambs that were bred at one of my satellite flocks. Dr. Pete Fincher put them on a tretment program and since he was familiar with the egg drench told me to go ahead and put them on it, atleast 10 oz. three times per day. By the time the sale rolled around you could nevr tell they had an outbreak of coccidiosis. I'm not advocating using other drenches/feed additives because I have not had personal experience using them....OG
