Do you have rafters in your barn? When we had a ewe down from Meningeal Worms, we used a lamb sling and lifted her up into a standing position for a couple hours every day so she could get circulation into her legs.

Rafters are too high up. I was just out with her she drank alot and took one bite of hay. Poop is stringy now and soft. Still moaning. She tries soo hard to get up

Good luck. This is terrifying and exciting all at the same time. At least you'll have a vet on hand. :fl
