Alright, I got back from cleaning it out a second time. There was less pus in the cavity, and it was easier to get out. I also noticed a bald patch on the rear leg opposite the injured leg. Before, during, and the rear leg images included.

Awhile ago one of my Tunis x Arcott lamb's leg got badly injured and swelled up. I got him to the vet too late, sadly, and she said the internal wound had already calcified. He wasn't in pain, so I decided to simply plan on slaughtering him come spring. About two weeks later, I notice there was...

We don't have a barn for our flock- only a few run-in shelters, so sadly not.

As a forward, my ram is no more aggressive most of the time than any other ram. He's actually a real sweetheart when he's not influenced by hormones. So I have a bit of a problem on my hands. My wonderful Tunis yearling ram has gotten quite aggressive with my very pregnant ewes (they're due in...

Just wondering about the usage of a single strand electric fence for a flock of sheep. They're left in the pasture all night long with a run-in shelter. Would the fence keep predators at bay?

We just got two Tamworth piglets, and now, one has run off. -_- It's our first time with pigs, and only had the two... It ran into a forest. Has anyone lost pigs like this? We're really desperate. How to we find her? Please help us!

Thanks so much, Sheepshape!

Thanks for your welcome! My lamb is drinking her bottles enthusiastically, and she has a normal temperature. Her previous owner gave her colostrum on her first day, so that's good.

She might have injured herself while frolicking with her companion lamb.

@secuono , They are outside, so that's quite possible. Thanks for the help! Thanks so much! God bless you. <><

I have a limping 2-Week old suffolk ewe lamb. None of her hooves are hot and there are no swellings on her legs. I'm new to both sheep and BYH (though I am WildWyandott110 on BYC). Any advice? I'm REALLY worried.... She and another lamb I keep for company are both bottle babies and have decent...
