Hi I have a sheep who last night I found her “stuck” in a corner with her head between a post and a wallaby her butt against a flexible fence, so she could’ve gotten out if she tried but I just got her out myself. When I got her out she staggered around and was tripping on things, I thought she just needed to get her bearings back so I watched her for a while and went to bed. This morning I found her on the ground laid on her front/stomach with her back legs sticking out behind her very sick and not able to stand. She has some drool dripping from her mouth as well. The vets aren’t open today so I can’t take her in but she looks very bad I gave her penicillin to see if it would help. I’ve done most of searching and think it could be grass staggers or listeriosis. If anyone could help that would be amazing thanks. I also added a really bad drawing of the position she was in as I’ve seen this once before in one of my sheep a few years ago(died before we could do anything) and could find any pictures on the internet of sheep doing this.
