Get in touch to share sheeping stories or questions anytime!Bloat in bottle fed lambs is one of the most horrible things I have had to deal with in my shepherding experience. You have a really close relationship with animals that you bottle raise and losing them suddenly is heart breaking for us but imagine the pain the poor lamb must be in with bloat. So in this episode I am so grateful to Sez the Vet for helping us learn about preventing bloat in bottle fed lambs. A few clarifications to the content in this episode: - Sarcina Ventriculi is not covered in the clostridial vaccines - the Lactobacillus Acidophilus bacteria doesn't produce gas itself, it's another species that is often in the Acidophilus yogurtWe explore:· What causes this? · How come it is generally bottle fed animals that get this? · What can we do to prevent it? · What can we do if it happens? · Are there any tell tale signs to see if you bottle fed lamb is likely to get bloat? · What about the bicarb solution? Does this work?
