I have foxes locally who come every year this time and either take or kill lambs. Every year I've lost some to the fox. This year it had taken one large triplet, then no more for a week.
Yesterday a ewe had two large twins who were up and healthy. This morning I went to inspect them and one of the twins was covered in blood on its neck. I thought for a moment the mother hadn't licked all the birth fluids away then saw it was fresh blood and found some puncture wounds both sides of its neck.
It was thin and weak and so I took them all in and have cleaned it up and given it an AB jab. I've also tubed it as it just doesn't seem able to find the teat, and when I've tried to put the teat in its mouth it doesn't do anything, doesn't suckle at all. I'll keep trying and topping it up as necessary.
However the blood has been oozing all day, is there anything I can do to try and stop the flow of blood?
