    Make up some milky porridge and give it to them in disposable dosing gun. It needs to be a bit more runny to pass in and out of the gun. Maybe 150 mls at a time 2 or 3 times a day. A bit of sugar thrown into the mix will do n harm either. Make sure it isnt too hot though. It is great for weak ewes.

    Might be no harm to give them a disprin or something also, for any pain.
