YAHOO! Moved my injured doe from field into shelter. She's one who got hung in fence almost a week ago. Wasn't able to stand but did start moving self around in grass. I've been doing room service and she's eating/drinking well. No signs of injury beyond extreme hyper extension in hips. Weather has been good and her twins are with her. I've seen her get up on front knees, raise hips some and "crawl" a short distance -- further each day, so she's beginning to use her hips. Plus it's best PT I could give . Can't walk yet. I got her onto a tarp and pulled her about 150' to the pasture shed. Let me tell you, she's 2X my weight but, it's done!!! I feel like a plow horse must

Starting to rain now....knowing it was coming was my incentive to pull harder!! Could not leave her out in it. She's in a big dry shed, lots of orchard hay, plenty of water and her kids with her. Sleep well girlie.

Barn hay racks then got filled...evening chores done!

Congratulations on getting her in out of the weather. I’ve had nearly grown sheep and lambs hang themselves up and finish with rear legs not functioning. I had about a 50% rate of success getting them back on their feet. I think nursing kids will help her to to get up. Good luck and keep us posted. They can be tough critters.
