Ewe with twins and a bad udder

[Gulli]

Got a ewe with 2 week old twins on her and they've chewed her teats because sheep are f**king idiots. she's been feeding one fine but the other one is obviously not getting enough milk.

Naturally the little one won't suck off a bottle
Bit stumped for ideas short of taking them both off until she heals up and hoping she takes them back.

She'll be culled as soon as the lambs are off her but need to do something in the meantime

If you take them off she won’t have them back....I’ll be surprised if they won’t suck a bottle if hungry enough

The bigger one does, but there's no way I'm lifting him and leaving the runty little sh!t with her

Had enough of lambing this year...

The runt might pick up if strong one taken off otherwise he will likely die.

Could you pen them in a shed and keep the strong lad away from her. Let him in and out to her suck for a while each day. It might give her a rest and should help the weaker lad.

I took them out earlier to give her a break, will try for longer tomorrow I think

I had one similar early on. I Fed the lambs off the ewe twice a day and put aveeno body cream on her teats straight after, she was fine after 2 days. Jennifer Aniston swears by aveeno but don't know if she uses it on her nipples.

Try some sudo cream

I have got through lambing without any cades, it’s only a matter of time before a ewe croaks it and i end up with a couple on the bottle!!!

The first 2 weeks were a breeze here, knew it would come back to bite me
