I guess I was so discouraged back in May I never replied. I've lost so many sheep! Pneumonia, worms, prolapses, bloat, you name it. We had a whole flock of sheep over at a friend down the road's farm and 6 sheep died while they were there! We didn't even know what was going on, and we still aren't sure what killed them. Pneumonia, or worms or coyotes. or all of the above. I lost both of my Tunis bottle babies, too.
Then one of my favorite shetland's, Cinnamon, died and I took her body for an autopsy. They said no worms, no pneumonia, it was some odd mammary abscess that went septic.
But since mid-summer, things have been going okay and we have been staying on top of the worms with dectomax.
And I'm happy report that in July I had 3 babies!!!! Pepper, my shetland, had twins, boy and a girl. And my Finn Snow White had a girl. Dipsy, my Cormo, is the daddy to all of them, by accident. Finneas 360 was supposed to be, but he slacked off.
So here are my July babies, they are the cutest softest squishiest things!
