Washedout top

I have a couple of lambs that have lost there top.  Bad timing on a summer vacation.  What has worked for anyone to bring there top back?

To answer that, you have to first answer, "Why have they lost their top?" Were they not eating well? Not getting enough water? Sick?

You went on vacation? Who did the feeding? Were they fed, or just put out on grass? Need more info before we can help.

We use OG Egg Drench.  Made a big difference on a lamb that a boy in our club took to the fair.  It put a nice top on him rather quickly.

feeding twice a day anywhere from 16 oz to 30 oz twice a day

running 2 min everyother day

the temps went up and I think the were run in the heat and stressed them out?

using OG drench the top is coming back a little but still looking for anything that might speed up the process

2 lb per day isn't much feed depending upon the size of the lamb.  What are you feeding 2 lb per of (feed, supplement)
