You're just working through all the sheep ailments aren't you. So educational.

What is scour? I have seen it mentioned a couple of times on here. I dont have sheep.

Restrict their grazing & feed a little hay to slow the gut down a bit.

The only thing I've got to do that with is some electric rabbit fence, will that work?

Depends if they jump, should help though. Ours are being a right pain with the pet lambs leading the other through the three strand fence- which reminds me, must take the voltmeter with me tonight...
Just providing hay might be worth trying on its own. Some might just have an inbuilt propensity to be loose- natures way of telling you they want shooting (actually natures way of attracting flies & killing them that way).

Seems a bit harsh from a diabetic although not a diabetic sheep

Harsh but true, we won't stand a chance when sheep eventually take over the world
