Oops! I hope your vet doesn't take offence at my remark re. vets not liking nutritional explanations.

Regarding the epidemic of "epilepsy" in domestic pets I am 100% certain that every case I have encountered has in fact been tetany because dietary change has been 100% successful (for example supplementing a labrador size dog's normal meals with a can of sardines 3 times a week will stop the "epileptic" fits).

I'm not sure if sheep will eat sardines but give it a go, Sue. They're only 19p a can from ASDA and that's a lot cheaper than anything the vet will have on offer.

All the best,
Bill.
