I had 3 adults (1 ram 2 Ewes) for 2 lambing seasons, But last year's lamb was a male & I had to sell him (I couldn't handle 2 rams, and I wanted to put the money towards another Ewe). And the other Ewe passed away a day after she had a miscarrige... Edit: I've been looking at getting another...

Update: They broke down the fence. As I was preparing to move the parents, the Ewe managed to push through the fence, and the ram followed her. I don't have the heart (or strong enough materials) to seperate the lamb again. All the struggling from last night has made it so she can barely even...

Alright, I'll set up a space for her. As far as the asprin goes, how should I give it to her & how much should I give her?

I'm very new to this forum, but I joined because I feel like this would be the best place to find help for my problem. One of my sheep, a lamb who's just over a year old, suddenly started having some problem with her hips: She's able to stand just fine. She's bright and alert. Doesn't show any...
