The first one we treated wrong the first two days, too. The second one got calcium immediately, she´s ok. The second one is still laying, for over a week now. The blood was tested, she has a deficit in calcium, phosphorus and copper. What we learned from another breeder: It´s very important to give them water with a bottle, if they don´t drink themselves. Maybe a deficit of calcium was the reason why your ewe didn´t had a udder?<br />I know it´s hard to loose a beloved sheep. But I´m happy you saved the other ewe!<br />Kind regards from GermanyNutztierarche-Stockseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929724463791386220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863895842125495284.post-48434105596842585462013-03-05T21:00:06.294-08:002013-03-05T21:00:06.294-08:00SO sorry to read this.
