Had the vet out this afternoon to look at my attacked sheep, more to reassure myself as I have been worrying myself sick over the ears that are hanging off and the god awful stench of rotting flesh.

He was really really please with them and said he couldn't believe just how well they are healing! Both the ears are staying where they should be, the Shetlands ear has connected back onto her head and the other sheep still has the normal blood supply feeding it. The punctures to the legs although they look awful he said they are looking good, the animals faces are looking better and he hopes that they will fill back out.

Another 5-7 days of antibiotics plus extra TLC and then they can go back into the group.

I am over the moon and for the vet to turn around and say 'Well done you've done so well'  it Is well worth all the tears, sleepless nights and all the hours I've put in so far! It has left me feeling on top of the world! 



** Update**
yesterday the police pressed charges on the house sitter (owners were on holiday) turns out she set off to muck the horses out who are on site at 7 am, the dogs were taken with her but she started to muck out and forgot about the dogs and they did a runner for 5 hours! Owners may be liable also as there land wasn't fenced correctly. Waiting for court dates :/

Thank you everyone for all of your advice, without your help I would have been in even more of a worrying mess!

There you go, good. Good luck getting the offending dog/owner sorted.

Fantastic news. All down to your hard work and  TLC. 
I hope you can relax a bit now after such a stressful and worrying few days.

And what's even better, just spoken to the police and he said there was a call from the house where they think the dog is from and it looks like the owners were away and they had a house sitter in. The police left a calling card on the day of the attack. The house sitter is giving a statement on Monday and he said things are looking in my favour and that I need to fill in a form as to how much this has cost me ( luckily I spent 3 hours typing it up last night)

So nice to hear some positive news from your awful situation

[Louise Gaunt]

We all do the best by our animals no matter if it is just a hobby or a business! I have a photographer coming out today from the county paper. I will try my hardest to educate the Public in some way of what damage there dogs can do! If I could save someone else from this horrible experience then it would be well worth it!

So glad things are going well.

I have to confess to feeling sorry for the dog's owner and the housesitter - I know how I'd feel if I was either of them.

[Hillview Farm]

I do feel sorry for them and I wouldn't want this bill landing on my doorstep! But at the end Of the day their dog has caused me so much hassle and cost me so much. I have had to turn work down because my hands are tied with sorting these sheep, on the day I had to ring up someone I do work for and say I couldn't get there, luckily I have understanding clients.

I would like to do a few things to that dog!!

[mowhaugh]

That is great news.

[Me]

Not for the dog!
