Title: Limpy
Post by: MrsJ on May 15, 2012, 04:04:00 pm

Our little ewe lamb with her broken leg in a splint!

splint will be changed at the weekend when I hope the vet will say she can go out in the field as her mum is going a bit stir crazy being confined to the lambing shed.  Her little brother is also keen to get out in the field.

The vet came last night and changed the splint.  She's got it on for a further week.  Poor mum is not happy.  We've been picking her a bag of grass twice a day to make a change from hay.
