Well the last 24 hours in that shed have not been merry. She was on the road to recovery but alas she has been down since tuesday, and although the Calcium issue was on the mend, time was not on her side and thus the Lambs are now dead inside her. 2 weeks from Lambing.
She is not opened up at all and therefore cannot abort naturally as it is, the operation to remove the dead Lambs is rediculously expensive and simply not worth it for a Ewe with, at best, a few more years.
As a result of this the only course of action recommended by the Vet is to cease the Calciject to reduce the stess, continue with the Drench as was and hope the universe is on our side although the odds are against us. This is unlikely to end well for us, although the vet reckons the chances are great enough to save a bullet.
I have done all I can.
This is likely to be my first loss.
On a lighter note; I'm Lambing at said farm tomorrow.
Hope all is well with your Ewes.
