Hello! Shrekfeet, sorry about the delay in reporting vet costs - things took a turn for the worst. My thin ewe turned out to have Johnnes! I had to have her put to sleep just before Christmas - she was wasting away and could hardly stand, it was awful. As the disease is mildly contagious, I had the rest of the flock tested (by random selection, mainly her lambs and a few of the others) but all were negative thankfully. The final costs....£367.00!!!!! I had to sit down in the vets when they told me how much it was. After paying out for that and the costs of feeding my small flock for the past few weeks whilst there is a foot of snow on the ground, I have decided to sell off a lot of my little darlings to try and recoup some costs. I'll just keep a small number to keep the grass down I think. Cheers.
