Thanks for the advice. Vet was very pleased with the ewe but we both felt she would be happier out in the paddock so Ive turned her out today and she is much better, grazing and looking after her lambs (they were separated from her by hurdles when she was inside as when she was very unwell, they were virtually knocking her over, trying to feed). Her good quarter is still producing some milk but I am planning to top the lambs up in the field.
Bit worried about one of the lambs who the vet felt had a low grade infection, he's not wanting milk very much from the bottle and looking hunched up, although is trying to feed from ewe in the field. He's had antibiotics. I might bring the family in at night so they don't get too cold and then both lamb and mum are due for more antibiotics tomorrow before I turn them out again. Do you think that's doable?
Sorry, forgot to say, havent got any other bottle lambs so difficult to only keep one lamb on her, all my other ewes have lambed now too, so no prospect of fostering one on. Will definitely cull her once lambs are weaned but just want to get her and them through this first.
