Title: Shetland Tup
Post by: Daisys Mum on February 06, 2010, 09:08:57 pm

I got a young Tup at the end of November and I have noticed that he always seems to carry his head tilting to one side, he seems fine not off his food or his ladies, just wondered if there could be a reason for this?

Have you ruled out gid? Or maybe an ear infection? Do you know where he has come from? Maybe get in touch with breeder/previous owner to make sure you know if there are others in the original herd that have symptons like that?
Is he a registered tup?
