Hello. I am new to this so i'd appreciate your patience.
We castrated one of the ram lambs yesterday (using castration rings) however this morning he was walking funny and seems to be in a lot of discomfort. I checked him over and found that the sack itself had somehow burst and was bleeding. Firstly, he escaped from his pen during the night so i am unsure if the damage was caused by this or if it was caused by the castration. Secondly, how should i treat this?
He seems to urinate normally and stools are normal however he has a reduced appetite and walks around with one back leg off the ground although toes the floor when standing. He also struggles to sit normally.
I have just checked him again and it appears that the sack it tearing away.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer.
