Urgent sheep issue

[Farmflock123]

Hi my name is Charlie I have 3 baby sheep who are going through there teen phases at the same time as me. My soft loving sheep tiny tiny Tim has never done anything to hurt anyone. He is so quiet and scared of everything. He is the only one of my 3 sheep to have horns. Sadly one of his horns broke off in the mid summer then suddenly I noticed he won’t put his head up anymore. His horn is growing into the back of his head. I can tell how much pain he is in. Please help me. What do I do?

Not sure what you can do, perhaps someone else here has an idea. Only thing I can think of is call a vet.

Ok thank you

OB wire and cut the last 1-2in of the horn. Gives you time until you figure out how to band a horn or get money to vet dehorn him.
If they aren't castrated, expect violence from them.

Post a good picture please. We're assuming the growing horn is curving back into his head. Yes some portion can be cut off...it will continue to grow until adulthood.....so more trimming. @secuno is right, can be done. I've trimmed with sharp tree trimming hand sheers. There are blood vessels in center so you won't cut deep, meaning short.

He sounds tame and calm, so I don't see a great deal of resistance, most likely. It's not painful as the horn material has few nerves. I've trimmed & filed several horn ends for safety as they were sharp. But do get to it right away as it can cause a sore or cut into his skin.
