2. What causes sheep to turn in circles
Sheep turning in circles may be caused by cerebral hydatid (turning in one direction) or encephalitis (turning in circles irregularly). The symptoms are as follows:
1. Cerebral hydatid
(1) Cerebral hydatid is the larvae of a multi-headed tapeworm. After a lamb accidentally eats forage containing tapeworm eggs, it develops into a six-headed tapeworm. Hookworms are transferred to the brain of the sheep for long-term parasitism, and finally form pea-sized cysts.
(2) Early symptoms: elevated body temperature, accelerated breathing and pulse, strong excitement or listlessness, and neurological symptoms such as forward thrust, hind legs, and lying down.
(3) Later symptoms: tilting the head back, running forward, retreating, turning in circles, falling to the ground, paralysis of the hind limbs, gradual weight loss, and loss of appetite.
2. Encephalitis
(1) At the beginning, the sick sheep showed depression and lameness, which then turned into ataxia, paralysis of several limbs, and recumbency. Sorry.
