[Jacob-list] OCD in Jacobs

[gotothewhip at aol.com]

The person I spoke with today, did not at all imply that this was an OCD case, i am the one who made the weak connection.. i hope this is not the case.? They told me it did not sound right as my lamb has gotten better rather than worse.? Initially, we didnt think this lamb would make it, as it was tubed for the first day.. he is now doing well, and has absolutley stole my husbands heart.....I dont know if he will handle if this is fatal.

Fred Horak is the one to talk to. I believe that OCD is progressive and doesn't usually show up so early, but I might be misremembering.

Can anyone direct me on how to find out more about OCD in multi horned sheep?? I have a 2 week old lamb, that has been having some problems.. He gets better everyday, but a very educated person and I spoke of OCD and its symptoms....This lamb has a few of them.? We are going to the vet on Monday as the vet suspects that he had a pinched nerve in utero or during the birth process.? HE dodnt walk until he was a week old, and now runs and plays, but has a wobble to him.? GO figure.. he is the the most stunning, perfectly market, incredible structured ram, with 4 wide spaced horns, a real stud prospect as he is outside bloodlines of my original flock... SIGH.....Vet may also opt for accupuncture as well.? We will get a Xray of the back, and possibly the skull.

Any input... Feel free to reply to me privatley if needed
