Well I am wondering if the lamb drench is helping, although she's not keen on it! For the last two days she's been on her feet and walking around all day, tucking into haylage and wanting to graze. She still isn't interested in much hard feed but at least she is putting something in her belly, and drinking herself. It's sunny here this afternoon and it's good to see the sun on her back. I feel she has turned a small corner - but early days yet ..

Even better news she has been on her feet most of the day and can now lie down and get up herself - which she couldn't before. Hasn't keeled over for two days now and didn't want to be put down under the lamp tonight - and most importantly BAA'd at me to get some coarse mix!

I haven't heard her little baa for ages

Last course of twin lamb drench tomorrow. I'm so pleased she has turned a little corner as my daughter has just gone into hospital for delivery of her twins, and I may have to absent for a while and leave hubby in charge!

Hope all goes well with the human births and glad your wee lamby is getting better.

I'm so pleased that she seems to be turning the corner. You've worked so hard for her - she sounds like a real fighter. Please keep updating her progress. Very useful also to read all the tips and ideas from everyone.

I'm still at my daughter's (all is well but babies are still in intensive care due to being premature). Good news about Tiny is that hubby said she has started bounding over to him and baaing for food, I am thrilled as that means she is getting way stronger. He said he hasn't seen her lying down once yet!

I'll be returning home this week and can't wait to see her
