Yesterday I had to resort to getting all my sheep in, in order to seperate out ewe-lamb that had lambed in the early hours.  Got them all in, then let the ones out that I didn't want.  Not ideal, especially with lambs at foot, so went slow and steady, but had no choice as this girl was not going to follow nicely and with no dog I wasn't going to chase her round and round pointlessly.  Tsk, bl**dy sheep!   Next year she will follow without a problem, now that she knows what she is supposed to do.

I've had ones that rattle too, as long as it goes away after a few hours it'll be okay.  Like others have said, probably just inhaled some.
