Title: what the best dressed sheep are wearing!!
Post by: pikilily on February 08, 2009, 01:07:06 pm

Hi, thought I'd share this with you. I am still chuckling.

Tuppence one of my ewes has very suddenly developed a lameness yesterday, having checked her feet out I discovered she had a touch of foot rot.  I cleaned her foot and sprayed it, and most of myself,  with the purple foot spray.  Thats not the funny bit! Over night I lay worrying about what to do and how to manage her.

This morning I caught her again,  washed her foot again, soaked a cotton pad in purple spray, and secured it in place with a dog boot.  You know the ones used to protect a dogs foot and bandage.

So Tuppence is now trotting about in the snow with her......wait for it...... lovely silver 'Bada' boots on!!  :sheep:
She looks quite the picture of sophistication! and I am ever so chuffed with myself for creativity and lateral thinking.

ps this will go in the sheep bitty, too,  in case anyone has a problem with foot rot.
