So what ?
only the second visit in 6 1/2 years so worth a mention, plus two questions arsing from the emergency.
Day before yesterday one of our ewes suddenly was sporting a head, approx. 3 times its normal size, with eyes barely slits, a huge dangling undercarriage , hunched up miserable and not for moving. vet administered a dollop of Alamycin and some Metacam and after a night in the shed she was already looking heaps better by yesterday morning and no sign of a prob by this evening, we have administered a further ab injection tonight on vets advice and need to do another metacam tomorrow which he left a dose in syringe for us.
Q1- where do you inject the metacam. not done that before and wasn't paying attention when he did it
Q2 any thoughts on cause- best we can come up with (and vet) is that she ate something she shouldn't have- though god knows what. her fluke, heptavac etc all up to date and vet ruled that out after exam
glad she's heaps better as she's one of our originals and a particular favourite. wishing we'd taken photos as she did look gruesome but at the time we thought she was dying and didn't remember to
