Well it is a very sad day, my little soldier did his best to hang on. He was still alive when I got back yesterday morning but he was very weak and looked utterly miserable. OH and I discussed whether it would be kinder to put him to sleep but the decision was taken out of our hands as this morning I went to check on him and he was finally at peace.
I really hate the fact that one of my animals has had to suffer like this but I guess all I can do is put it down to experience and make sure none of the others suffer in the same way. All the flock have been treated with Fasinex now and I will be doing a follow up later in the winter so
.
I'll miss the little fella as he was a canny little chap but I'm relieved that at least his suffering is over now.
RIP little man
