I have kept ad-lib hay out all year too - very wet here in the south -west. Seems to have worked well for 2 years, hardly any dagging or mucky rear ends

Not a 10th as experienced as some on here - but my only saving grace is I observe a LOT - BH may say to obsession, I think just enough!!

You can never watch your sheep too much

I'm glad the blip has passed. Much better that you noticed and did something, and it sorted itself, than seeing something and thinking it would sort itself when it turned out to be something serious......if you see what I'm trying to say.....

Know what you mean Fleecewife - I don't know 1/2 the answers but if at least I catch the signs then I have 1/2 a chance - pondering over putting her + buddy back out this evening forecast not great so may wait till morning - but poo's fine and no teeth grinding at all so

Hope your lamb is still ok. Have you considered giving an injection of combivit?

Thank you Animalcrackers - yes she's fine - got a bit coped up inside so back out. There was only that evening of teeth grinding - I did giver her a few doses of the lamb boost I had in which I think gave her a little energy, possibly enough to perk her up to eat hay which got internals going again - pretty sure it was a wet grass issue.
