pregnant ewe down

[Shelly May]

I believe your vet should cut some $$$ off your bill, Had that baby died inside her she would have been full of infection and surely would of lost her too
and you never would of known he had missed one. Now make sure she passes the after birth, and hoping for a full recovery for her.

Oh MAN! That is the most outrageous thing I've ever heard! I am hoping the little guy makes it, and please, please let the ewe be okay You just must have been totally freaking out!!!! Wow you really have your hands full. Wish I was there to help somehow. Can't see how the vet could have missed that?/???

Sorry I have not updated sooner but I have been sooo busy. Baby ram lamb died..Mom will have to be put down..I have tried everything to get her up with no success. It almost seems like she also had a stroke just dont know. Little ewe lamb is slowly coming around but just to complicate things more her back leg was fractured when pulled out but the vet feels because she is so young and fracture so small it will heal. This every 2-4 hour feedings and trying to work with mom at least twice a day and working is doing me in. The vet feels the lambs where somewhat premature and unsure if mom would of been able to deliver all three on her own due to being down .Four Wind Ranch I do keep wondering why I do this. My husband is a city boy and only helps out if he really needs too and my kids are in school all day and then sports afterschool just crazy. We have 8 more ewes to deliver just hope all goes well. I just want to thank everyone for this forum it has been a god sent..it is nice to talk with people who care and the resources are great . I dont post alot but I do read most of the posts. Thanks again for being there. I know it sounds crazy but this mom was like a child to me and it is hard. She was one the the very first ewe lambs we got and has been the leader of the flock.
