skycat 6,173 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 A wild guess, after some of the symptoms your'e describing: lead poisoning? Found in old paint. Could they have chewed it off an old door/gate/wall? http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cl...;articleid=1522 Quote Link to post
sue 1 Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 it does seem like some poisoning of some kind ,carnt be food related with it affecting them both Quote Link to post
robgriff1 4 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Defo nothing in the garden or where i take em. The way they double up rigid & yelp whenever u touch em tells me its either poison or bad infection but can they be getting it from sheep shit if the sheep have recently been dipped or something?

CumbrianJack 2 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Very strange. What did the blood tests come back as? Sounds more like some sort of Ataxia, which is hereditary, if it was infection they wouldn't recover so quick & poisoning would kill one of them after a while. Have you been to another vet yet?
