Mastitis

[Hen-Gen]

Bound to happen sooner or later. Ewe with triplet lambs has mastitis. Given a big dose of antibiotics and hopefully she’ll stay in milk. Lambs are 45 days so should survive if she does dry up if given supplementary feed. Nevertheless it’s a worrying time.

Sorry to read this Hen-Gen. Hope the antibiotics do the trick.

Is mastitis common in sheep, Hen Gen? Hope the antibiotics work quickly.

She died. But lambs have grown into nice gimmers. And as a neighbour observed having asked how many lambs she‘d had (13 lambs in four pregnancies), “ aye, she did you well”.

What lovely lambs. She would have had a good life with you on Fetlar.
