Whats up??????

 

[luvmypets]

Sorry it was a little crazy today. So we did ALOT for him today. Anyways we started by milking Lily and giving him it in a bottle, but he has no suck response so we really had to force the issue. So later we got him an enima, and he didnt have much poo in him. Finally, he got a egg, syrup, milk mixture that the vet recommended. He still is weak, but he is a fighter. Anyways, he is going to the vets first thing tommorow morning.

he and you will be in my thoughts tomorrow

If he's not sucking I'd be really careful about forcing a bottle on him. He can breathe in the milk and make things much worse. Ask the vet to show you how to tube feed him when you go, it's a much safer way to get nutrition into a weak lamb.

have been praying for him...hoping for a good update tomorrow.

I am so relieved that he is still with you! I have been so worried about him

Hoping he recovers quickly and that the vet can find the issue

Praying for you both, too. I lost a lovely lamb to pneumonia and another to meningitis over the last few days.....
