What about a little bi carb in drench?

[ScotsGirl]

I did wonder about bicarb. It's the only thing I haven't tried. She has passed a small sloppy poo, not sure if that is progress. She still won't eat and her stomach sounds full of fluid when I massage it. Not surprising as I have syringed honey water, pro rumen, diluted liquid paraffin down her neck today!


Looks like another call to vet in morning.

bicarb solution should give her some relief, possibly follow up with some vegetable oil?

[ScotsGirl]

How much bicarb? I mixed a teaspoon in half a mug of water and syringed about 30ml. Scared of overdosing her

How is she this morning?

[ScotsGirl]

Found her dead in pen this morning. She was very depressed and uninterested yesterday. I wonder if she had a twisted gut or kidney trouble. She was behaving just like a horse with colic. Bummer. Only good thing is she had a ewe lamb who is just like her with lovely temperament so will keep her.


Very sad, she was one of my first ewes.

[Kimbo]

Oh no. That's so sad. Im so sorry for your loss 

[devonlady]

Poor old dear

[Foobar]

Aww, poor old girl.

[fiestyredhead331]

sorry to hear that 
sometimes there's just nothing you can do
but at least you have her ewe lamb, we lost our fave ewe too but we have her ewe lamb

[kelly58]

So sorry to hear that, you did your very best, like you say she lives on in her lambie 

[Hellybee]

So sorry xx

[ladyK]

So sorry you lost her 
You did all you could. Good you have her ewe lamb to keep 

[Bramblecot]

It is horrible to lose them, especially when you tried your best.

[ScotsGirl]

Thanks all. It is as bad as losing an old dog or a child. I just love mules. Only two left, all rest are oddballs except my lovely little black Welsh.
