A baby lamb got dropped in my lap today!

Have you heard of the blog Chickens in the Road? She had a bottle sheep that thought she was a dog, she lived on the porch with the dogs until she was weaned.
Annabelle ( the sheep) was taken by a mountain lion unfortunately, but now a few yrs later, she has a bottle goat named Maia who thinks she is a cat or lap dog lol

That was a few weeks after giving birth! lol Sinjin is just a barrel round sheep.

seriously?!? I usually consider myself pretty good at deciding Preggo vs fat, but jeez! That is a lopsided sheep!

Do they have access to baking soda? I'm not sure about sheep, but goats will eat it as necessary when they get gassy like that.

They do, and the sheep mineral block.

She looks lovely. I hope she continues to do well. Thanks for posting the pics.

My goats always looked pregnant too.

How is your baby doing today? Sure is a beauty!

 

[dayna]

She's great. Sadly I had two goats pass away overnight. I have no idea why so I'm watching her like a hawk.

If you have one favorite animal out of a hundred, THAT is the one struck by lightning or fall down dead or any of the million ways they die. All the rest? Just fine! :roll:

So sorry for you both.

 

[MamaSheepdog]

Oh no! I'm sorry about your goats.

Could they have eaten something toxic maybe?

I hope it is nothing contagious. :clover:
