Bit of a weird one, before I start this is my first ever lambing, we bought 52 pet lambs last spring and reared them all sold the Wethers, kept the ewe lambs and bought 44 more ewes to put in lamb to end up with 60. They could be due from tomorrow but we couldn't get anytime to scan them.
This ewe is a scotch mule and I'm fairly sure I've never touched her except from when she's been worked, fluked or drenched. Yet this morning I've managed to stroke her? She's acting odd, away from the group on her own and keeps wondering to the same spot? I thought she was blind at first (her eyes are clear and not cloudy so look normal to me) as she wasnt blinking when I put my hand next to them but appears to be following where the dog is running with her face/eyes. I've spoken to the vet who said to give her the sheep calciject with glucose in, so dad has gone to get some of that along with some recocam and to bring her in.
I've searched the entire field for lambs atleast twice, looked down the lane and can't find anything. She doesn't appear to have lambed and hasn't bagged up or anything. Any ideas? They are coming into the shed either today if I get it cleaned out before milking or else tomorrow.
They ran out of mineral block the day before yesterday but I have just put a new one out for them.
Thanks
