Hi Colliewoman - he didn't leave painkiller - he used metacam by injection, he left antibiotic which I did ask about but I was in a bit of a panic to be perfectly honest and not thinking straight - shes nibbling the ready grass still and did nibble some of her hard feed - but not being her greedy self but at least its something - I'll give them a ring

Our vets aren't keen on too much pain relief..the theory being a little pain stops them cavorting around doing things they shouldn't be doing and giving the wound, stitches a chance to heal.
Just a thought. Congratulations on all your new babies.  I'm getting excited about mine but not due to early April.

I see the point LouiseG - maybe they are right - she has been subdued but still nibbling, getting her jabs, feeding the kids and sleeping lots with the kids which can only do her good - we'll hopefully be having a few lambs when your kidding hope it goes well for you
