I have them on nuflor and they ate pregnant. Wondering if antibiotic is making them not want to eat. They eat hay. Thanks I am worried.

Why are they on Nuflor? Antibioitcs usually does not make them not want to eat....
If they are eating hay just fine, then check your grain...is there mold, have you changed brands? what else is going on...any runny butts? Are they drinking enough water? Do you see them chewing their cud? any rumen function that you hear or feel?

Take their temps..

If they aren't feeling well, B Complex and Probios are good to give daily.

I agree, why were they started on Nuflor?

Did you get a temp on them, if so what was it?

Not eating can be due to illness or a rumen that is off. Depending on temp before giving meds, is how they should be treated.

They are on nuflor for coughs and runny nose that has been going on a while. Chewing cud no mold in feed. Drinking water eating hay and grass. No temp. Due to have babies next month. One is due any day. Thanjs

What's dose for B complex vit.?

 

[happybleats]

if they are heavy bred and huge there may not be much room in there for them to eat much, its better they are eating the hay and graze then grain...as long as they are behaving normal other wise... I would just keep a good eye on them
they should be chewing a cud..peeing pooping berries, bright eye,alert and have deep pink to red inner eye lids...eating and drinking well...
I bet they want grain once those babies are born..
B complex if 4 cc per 100#sub Q
