I got a quarter pint of the porridge/molasses mix down her a little at a time, making sure she swallowed each time. All the other sheep thought it smelled fabulous so it wasn't easy! She tried with some effort to get up a couple of times, clonking her chin on the floor with weakness but staggering up with a little help and moving forward a couple of metres before laying down again. I got the vibe that I was bugging her with my fussing so came home. OH mentioned that it had started raining so, knowing she was out in the open, we went over to move her under the shelter of the trees. She couldn't/wouldn't get up. We put OH's workshirt under her like a sling and basically ended up dragging her a few feet. It was awfully upsetting. We made sure she was sat properly upright again and left her where she was. Thankfully the rain was a passing shower anyway. Walking back home we both felt very heavy hearted and both wondered if the vet should come back out and do his thing. Don't know if we're expecting too miraculous a recovery. After all she's obviously not eaten anything or if she has, very, very little in the last few days plus lots of liquid has been unceremoniously shoved down her. She must be pretty miserable and crook with it all. I did hope the steroid would give her a boost though and it just hasn't. Her belly, though softer and more pliable is sloshy with all the oil etc and she's so very weak. I don't want to have her put to sleep, I really don't but wonder if it would be the kindest thing....We love her so very much.
Haven't a clue where to get emergency suplies like cobalt/selenium drenches from right now as our fabulous merchants has ceased trading. I've got magniject and calciject and a vitamin drench but whilst I'm willing to try anything which may just help, I don't want to bombard her in her easily stressed, weakened state.
