Mrs White's limp
(No, we haven't lambed early.. read on!)
The sheep have been inside the barn for almost ten days now... All because of Mrs White’s limp which is just not getting any better. So she has had antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, a poultice, lots of rest and the foot has been kept really dry and her limp is no worse and no better. She and the other ewes are just under six weeks off lambing and with 75% of the foetal growth now about to take place, all that extra weight is not going to help. We are at a loss as to what we can do for her and need another chat with the vet for definite.
Relaxed at Home
In herself she is fine, but being permanently lame is not a great way forward for her!! Picture is of her last year with her lambs!! A reminder (hopefully) of things to come.
