Ewe unable to stand SOS

[newgirl97]

She drank 150ML of that stuff we made. We got the shots and gave it to her. Now we play the waiting game.

She's also blind in her right eye, but not her left. (if you flick in front of her right eye she has no reaction, if you flick in front of her left eye she flinches and blinks) Will the sight come back? or is this permanent?

I don't think she is truly blind in that eye! It is just a reaction caused from the Ketoses/toxemia. If she pulls through for you, she should be fine. Hopefully!!

Just check on poor Mary. She's still laying in the spot we moved her. She's drooling continuously clear thick strings of saliva. We called the vet and they said in five hours if she's still not moving to give her another shot, and then if by morning she still hasn't gotten up, then to bring her in to them.

I'm afraid we're loosing her. I feel so helpless watching her lay there.

I can only imagine the angst you must be feeling.
I pray that this is looking worse than it is and she starts getting better.

So sorry and really hope she turns around and you don't lose her

 

[newgirl97]

The vet suggested we give her mineral oil mixed with apple juice, so we did so. Hopefully that'll clear up some of her saliva.

 

[newgirl97]

Does anyone know what could cause heavy thick clear saliva. It comes out of her mouth continuously, and it'll bubble and she'll sputter.

I'm sorry I can't help at all, I'm just pulling for your ewe and hope she makes it!

 

[newgirl97]

she won't make it until morning. We tried bringing her some grain and she wouldnt even try to eat, (this morning she did), she's still sputtering up her saliva. For now we're making her as comfortable as possible, and if by some grace of god she makes until morning she'll go to the vet.
