http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/Smileys/default/fingers_crossed.gifThank you all for the advice. I should have mentioned that I had called the vet but she said she wouldn't last the night and that was 2 weeks ago so when I proved her wrong I thought I'd ask you guys. I only have 20 ewes and 3 rams (2 offspring) but I've been bought up with sheep and had my own for 15 years. I've just never had one like this before.
I've taken the physio route a few of you suggested because everything is looking good - appetite, heart, poo, fleece and I managed to get rid of the obvious deficiencies, thanks to my nutribullet grass, honey, kale, spinach, ewe milk and mint smoothies when he was at death's door.
All is looking up. This morning, he bah'd at me and sniffed the air with that awful mating look they have when they're in the mood (looking at a ewe not me). I think you're right, his tendonds had shortened while he was recovering, so we got him up several time and massaged his legs to keep them in position. Mid afternoon, we tried again and he stayed there for a few seconds. A minute later, he tried to get up all by himself so we tried again!!!! Although he failed, it's great he's trying because before now he hadn't been interested in moving. Just now I managed to walk him to his straw bed, assisted, tonight and he is much more confident.
Thanks to you guys, we should be there in a few days.
Thank you all so much for your help.
