Mitsie has had a sore teat, so we started to top up this lamb twice a day with a bottle of milk and this has worked very well for the last month...
... until last week, when he started to have diarrhea. We dosed him for worms immediately, and then again just in case on Tuesday, waiting to see if he improved.... unfortunately he is still being affected by something...... so this morning I took him to the vet.
He was really good in the pickup, settling down in the footwell, with his face pointing in my direction so I could pat his head if he felt anxious, like his mum, he's become really tame and trusts me....... When I got out to have a word at reception, he got up, and climbed onto the seats, thankfully they are wipeable, as he spread "you know what" all over the place... I picked him out and took a poo sample and left them with it........ I'm waiting to see what they say... .
...I put him back with his family in the field, none the worse and cleaned the interior of the pickup.. it needed some attention anyway, but smells better now!!
Will keep you posted on the results..........
