They are due their second shot of Heptavac P this weeekend
- so I am presuming that what number 1 ewe has got is either a serotype that's not in the vaccine or something else.... or the vaccine just hasn't really kicked in yet.
Problem is - I'm reluctant now to round the rest of them up for their shots if it's going to result in another one going down with the same thing as I understand that stress is a precipitating factor
She seems fine this morning in the dawn half-light. Even came closer to the gate to have a look at me instead of bleating angrily from the top end of the paddock.
Could I dare to hope that she might even be a bit grateful?
Answer: NOOOOOOO
