Thankas for the confidence vote Lost Lambs- I did call the local (farming) vet but he said there wasn't much point in him coming out!! It was a case of sit and see and that he wouldn't do anything over and above me. I gave him a painkiller injections twice and then a long lasting anti-biotic. Vet advised it mightn't be any harm in giving him another 9 in1 injection to ward off anything that might creep in when he's under the weather.
Thankfully he is well improved- out in the field with the ewes- eating drinking and mixing in. Much steadier on his feet. We're out of the woods thankfully

sooo glad to hear he is much improved, shock does untold damage, perhaps he just needed time to sort himself out and there wont be any physical damage

The other sheep were moved and I've moved mine into the wee field at the back of the house as I am getting ready to lamb- hopefully. Thanks for the support guys.
