And it just keeps pulling through? Brilliant but emotionally exhausting! Had a lamb looking dead in field evening before last.... Alamiycin given and saw it up and with mother before night fall, all good. Dawn yesterday still with mum and looking ok.... 9 half lying in stream and shivering eyes closed and rolling. brought in, wrapped and warmed up.... Took it with me to vet to see if any stronger ab's, ended up being seen.... Sample taken for cocci, pneumonia not likely ( a relief because this was one of the surprise lambs who's mum was not given heptovac booster in time), could be worm burdens or tick borne disease.... But basically no idea but proclaimed unlikely to survive..... Still £40 poorer (whispers, so oh doesn't hear - he would go bonkers) go home, put in pen with nuts hay water and other pet lamb. Convulsions on and off through day, not taking more than 1-200 ml lamlac all day ... But standing and looking ok by evening. Mum came to get it evening so let it out to see... Happy to be together but no feeding and lamb wanders off towards stream.... Nope, back in pen not expecting it to survive night. Woke up this morning to find it standing in water bucket,but very much alive! Still won't have much lamlac,but have seen it sniffing the nuts so may be getting some.... At 4 weeks old and very well covered, maybe it have enough reserves to survive a couple of days on minimal food? Asked the vet about the water thing was that a sign of anything (other tha stupidity) she didn't think so (not dehydrated, temp ok). Phew. Needed to that off chest, anyway, 36 hours of minimal food that I can be sure about and still going. Vet gave it strongest abs, an anti inflammatory, wormer and drench for cocci... So hopefully one of those is the thing!
