Our 2 new Jacob babies are doing well, however I am a little concerned about our ewe.
She is drinking well, but when I see her pee I am looking real hard to see a stream. I don't know how much she should be peeing. Our first sheep. I am, of course, comparing this to my goats (does) when they pee it is like a gallon!
The ewe's urine does not have any abnormally strong smell, or dark color... it just seems like there should be more.
Behavior and health all good...friendly, alert, chewing her cud...all normal. Sometime today I will be doing a fecal because they have been here a week now and are still in quarantine. I may take a temp anyway while I'm out there. (Actually straw hat can take a temp, I don't care if the sheep hate him...I want them to love me! Tee hee! )
Any ideas?
