WE HAVE LAMBS!!!
« on: January 15, 2011, 01:48:46 am »
I Had seen this morning the stringy muchus, when I checked tonight the bag was hanging out the back,  also she had a bit of a cervical prolapse happening, i gave her an hour then got lavered up and pushed the prolapse back in place, she then had a wee which is a good sign, I had a gental feel and as she opened up for me I felt that the first two feet where back legs, ahhhhh first ewe to lamb and a complication< I tried to manipulate but after an hour thought Id call for the experts so we got our vet out and it took her and hour and a half for her to manipulate them and to pull them out, two great little boys, take a look

Hi Andy.  Bummer you had problems with the very first ewe but you dealt with it, you have lovely live lambs - well done  :) 8) :)  Send another pic when they are bouncing around.

Good news about your lambs- how is the ewe doing? With the amount of internal handling she has had it will be tough going for her.
