Never a dull moment keeping sheep, this little one is from last years lambs she was one of a twin which had a difficult delivery her brother died from a pneumonia infection. She was on antibiotics but pulled through. Always smaller than the other lambs she has a feisty character and can hold her own.
But last week she was found "down" on the field with the other hoggs as floppy as a rag doll. We don't hold out much hope but have taken her to the vet. She had antibiotics for pneumonia and Vitamin B jabs and for the fist night we used a drench gun to give her water and sugar mix in an attempt to keep her alive.
So far she has survived and I'll update with progress
