[QUOTE="TelesnaAg, post: 7489360, member: 8059"] Hi all, i have 2 pet sheep 2yrs old, 1 has a crook leg from before i bought him in a mob of stores, anyway long story short, he spun around and strained his leg a couple weeks back. Got vet out for some meloxicam, body temp 39.3, she said to high needs to be 39.0 or under, i ckecked last nite and late in the day it was 39.1, the other sheep who is entirely different, skinny with a metabolism you'd die for! Very strong but not a fatty was 38.8. So question is in a mob of 100 sheep what would be an expected variance?? I will keep monitoring henry with the strained leg, trying to control his weight atm. His knee must have been injured on previus farm as the joint is larger than other, but before the strain he was using very well and movivg fine, even using it to scratch himself, i was in the pen when he spun around and strained i believe its in his hip, he is fine using 3 legs even when running, hes pretty quick. Vet said amputation can be done which is fine but at this stage i dont think that will help as he doesnt flinch when feeling his knee but hip he does. They are in 1 acre paddock and get locked up at night in there pen which has there own hut and soft etc, so living quite the life. Pain is my concern, vet said will gove him 4 weeks or so to see improvements the re assess. Ant.... [/QUOTE]
