Ewe had triplets now is fat and has a hard side...?

Since none of us are there to view the animal, it would be best to call a vet or someone with a lot of experience with ruminants to help with a proper diagnosis.

I agree with this. I think at this point, with the lump being firm and constant, and given her age, she needs to be seen by a vet. Of course, if she's in no discomfort that's great. But I don't think sheep will show much discomfort until very late in some cases. Its the survival of the fittest thing.

I do wish you the best of luck with it and I hope it turns out to be nothing.

Firstly, I want to thank Nomad for all that information and the link...I've learned a great deal from this thread!

Secondly, since the lump has not gone down yet, a vet would be a good call in my opinion too...hope she's okay.

Seems slightly smaller, but I'm wondering if I'm just getting used to it and that's why it looks smaller. I'll take a pic tomorrow so I can compare them. She's otherwise fine, so not sure what the heck went on. We don't have a sheep/equine vet yet. Looks to be only 2 horse vets and none for sheep in VA. But I'm working on it, pet vet people have horses, I'll get their vet's info.
