how long can you safely leave a ewe with a retained afterbirth?
corncockle lambed yesterday at 6:00 and is still trailing membranes. I have not found the big livery looking bit so assume it is still there.
According to my dates She was a few days premature, even by Shetland standards. Corncockle is bright as a button, stuffing her face with grass and ivy, eating her cake and is being an excellent mum.
I have engemycin 10% injection, should I give her some of this? If so how much (it was got for a goat and I don't know if the dose would be the same). Should I use a different abx or leave well alone for now?
Thankies
