I really rate a molasses based twin lamb drench, she must be exhausted poor girl.  Hope she continues to rally.

  don't over do the barley/sugar type stuff though, a little goes a long way

Vet been out this morning - my best vet  - given her multivitamin, calcium and a steroid to stimulate appetite. I've got calcium and steroid for tomorrow. He's actually on holiday, bless him.

Her clinical signs are good - no sign of peritonitis, which was a worry - ears warm, eyes bright, tried to run away from the vet; temperature almost normal, heart fine, tissue colour good. Her wound is clean and healing well.

Very weak in the back legs - may be nerve damage or just weakness. She needs to eat.

Made "Poorly Sheep Soup" a delicious blend of clover, comfrey, parsley, danelion, dock and ground elder, whizzed up so it can go through a syringe. Hester Blumenthal  eat your heart out. She's had some, then ate a couple of leaves of comfrey. I mean two. She's just had some more "soup" and ate some of the thick stuff, albeit that I stuffed it in her mouth.

Just got to keep after her 

[Me]

Good work 

[Fleecewife]

That sounds encouraging Rosemary.  I love your soup recipe - just the thing 

[ZaktheLad]

Did she have some bread with her soup? 

[Hellybee]

What's about collate tld?  Hope she continues to mend, well done Nurse Rosemary 

[SallyintNorth]

Bless you for working so hard for her 

  and toes too

[Rosemary]

Well, she's eating "ordinary" feed now - had some sugar beet, coarse mix and Alfa A (well, I had it for the ponies) plus comfrey leaves and our usual weed mix - but just as pulled. I have to stuff it in her mouth but she chomps through it and doesn't spit it out.

And she took some from me this morning without the stuffing.

I'm going to put Juno out with her today for company.

She's still awful wobbly - if she get's going she's fine but then she seems to lose concentration and down she goes.

TBH, I'm not awfully confident that she's going to get through this.

[ZaktheLad]

We all have our fingers crossed for her 

[SallyintNorth]

Oh Rosemary    No-one could have tried harder, we're all willing her to get through this !

[devonlady]

You are doing your best and that is all anyone can do. I hope it goes well for the poor old dear
