Some were in for just a quick warm-up (since many of our ewes preferred to give birth outside on the coldest nastiest nights of the year, instead of in the nice warm barn) and others ended up as bottle-feeders.<br />Give 84 a scritch behind the ears for me...gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208168224439515489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-22032451099625283642010-02-04T19:18:17.037-05:002010-02-04T19:18:17.037-05:00ooh goodness. how sweet.

They are too sick to eat- the blood pressure is too low and the body moves the blood preferentially to the lungs, heart, and brain. If they are fed, the stomach and intestines can't handle it and it can cause death by overwhelming infection from the intestines. Or, the fluid can accumulate in the lungs and cause death from pneumonia, either because of poor suck/swallow or because of something called third spacing.Some times a little fluid, like pedialyte, is the thing, but you have to be reasonably healthy to eat. I'm glad he made it!<br /><br />I just got your new book and I have to say, I am inspired!

I have gotten tired of constantly cleaning up after them. I broke down and bought disposable diapers. I cut a small hole for the tail. It is funny to see them walking around, but saves most of the wiping up the floor. I bet your lambs love your wooden floor. The lambs I have raised like to hear their hooves on the wood.philogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629993112867675876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-7570826184132219142010-02-02T16:57:50.228-05:002010-02-02T16:57:50.228-05:00No.84 is a fighter, so glad he made it.
