The lamb that was worried is eating well and fully weight bearing on its leg. Its in my cartlodge with one other ewe for company. only thing is is that it seems to be panting a little and is still running a temperature. Its on its third day of antibiotic and had its nuts, an eighth of a bale of hay, a grated apple and a digestive. Its alert, the site of the wound is sore, if you touch it it shivers, its got two days of antibiotics left.
Is that all as it should be?
The dog attack woman confirmed she will pay the vets bill..... so thats one less thing to worry about.
Thank you for all your help. Without it I wouldn't have called the vet or got painkillers and he did need it. I think the fault was me because I misdescribed the wound to the vet and she couldn't tell from the photo that it was so deep.
