Lagging ewe

[BrownSheep]

Well she is still a bit off...not as much as before but she isn't quite right.

She still a bit too thin for my taste. The drooping head is because she was staring off with a cat. We don't have a thermometer and good luck convincing my dad we need one. Our feed store doesn't even carry them.

ETA ignore the choppy wool. Bertha is the unfortunate soul I tried my hand shears out on...as you can tell I should stick with electric.

LOL! Well I hope Bertha comes through whatever is bothering her.

Just buy the cheapest digital thermometer at the grocery store, usually 3 to 5 $$. You can crazy glue some string and a clip to it if you're concerned about it falling "in" but the digitals have a wide read-out end, plus you get a reading within 15 seconds. I'd say if something tells you she's "off" then trust it and check her out. Once they pass a certain point in failing health it is expensive and uncertain if you can bring them back.

Not eating and being thin are definite signs there is a problem, so check her out thoroughly.
