Unfortunately it is difficult to give specific advices without more clinical informations, I think a check up is immediately needed as these signs are quite concerning but generic. Differentials are many, from gastrointestinal diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort. The approach must be logic, starting from offering different kind of food. A check up is needed if inappetence last for more than 24hours. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Sheru may have a respiratory infection. I would contact a veterinarian to come out and evaluate him as soon as possible. If you have access to antibiotics on the farm, you may want to administer a dose.

Hello! Lots of animals can benefit from supplements like glucosamine. Your local feed store should be able to point you in the right direction for brands and types available for livestock. Wraps are unlikely to help Bella. If wraps are applied wrongly or too tight you can actually cause more harm than good so I wouldn't recommend it. Keeping her warm in cold weather (like a barn) and lots of straw for padding will also help to keep her warm and comrortable

The normal temperature range for sheep is 100.9 - 103.8 F. It appears that your one sheep had a bit of a high temperature. If the sheep is also showing signs of illness (For Example: stuff coming out of their nose, coughing, not eating well, or having diarrhea), then it would be best to have that one seen by a vet doctor. If the sheep is acting normal, then the temperature rise may be due to a high outside temperature. Sheep will adapt during warmer times of the year and have a high temperature, but it should not be too high (like over 105F), or they can get heat exhaustion or stroke. I hope that helps and all is well with your sheep.

With all the information you have provided, this situation sounds very suspicious of a Barber Pole Worm infection, also known as haemonchus contortus. It is a parasite that infects the digestive tract and feeds off the the sheep's blood. Sheep can become anemic and die very quickly. My recommendation is to have your veterinarian perform fecal sampling on your herd. If eggs are present in the feces for this parasite your veterinarian will need to reassess your parasite control program.
