Hypothermic EWE

Conmaicne Mara

Oul fella has a ewe (twins of course) went into an open drain. She's down and grinding her teeth but picking at meal. Will give her warmed glycerine and some calcium. Anyone got other suggestions that will work? She's in a trailer at the moment on straw.

Tough enough...

Glycerine and calcium sounds good. (If 'twas me I'd be giving molasses + milk + and egg all mixed up together warmed up - but I think your ingredients are better)

Do you have lectade? I found it good for ewes when they were down. You could warm it up a bit too. But I wouldn't this for a while, later on tonight.

Happened one here too so surrounded her in straw inside a half tonne meal bag, was roaring a hour later and up and about another hour later

How is she today?

Much better form today, will keep her in for a few days and supplement the lambs with a bottle.

I was not so lucky Easter week:( At least her lamb is a few weeks old and in good health so all is not lost.
