I have a ewe that's due end of March who has had foot rot for the last week, i've been treating with blue spray but due to her being quite heavily in lamb i've tried not to stress her out too much with tipping her up. However, the last few days she's been kneeling a lot so ive been treating her a couple of times a day with the blue spray and has had pen and strep. I'm just wanting to know will this cause the lambs a great deal of stress and is it likely to kill them/or cause her to abort?
I know it's best to avoid handling the ewes when pregnant, but the ewes welfare took priority in this case.
cheers
