I'm having a bad day! Ewes due on Monday (all sponged) and my old ewe who had twin lamb 6 weeks off lambing has been absolutely fine, looks horrendous but was up and eating, been having Glycol twice a day. This morning at 6am I found her flat out, legs straight and pretty much unresponsive. Gave glycol and calcium. She perked up and walked about, I popped home for two hours and find her again on return flat out. Spoken to the vet and he's taking steroids and a jab to induce her home so I can pick up this evening. Anything else I can do for her?
She's looking like she's going to die in all honesty and I can see the lambs moving. I know it's possible and hoping I don't have to do it but can anyone share their experience of cutting out lambs once the mother has just died? How long do I have? I know not long. Any tips?
Please go easy on me, I'm a stressed out wreck and I've not even started yet!!!!
