We all know that pets and fireworks don't get on. Anyway , sheep and fireworks don't get on either.
Neighbours has their own bonfire party, and finished with some bright , sparkly fireworks shooting in to the sky. This spooked the sheep that were in the adjacent field, and they all went charging around . One crashed into some sheep hurdles. We spotted him by torchlight, in the dark, standing away from the others and not moving much.
Next morning , it was still separate from the others and not active. And we could go right up to it - certainly not normal behaviour in sheep.
And he was standing in one position, and very unsteady on his feet .
closer inspection revealed the injuries
So what to do ?
If its head injury of some sort, there is no specific treatment. If its concussion it should strt to recover in a day or so .
Prop him up, keep him warm, ensure food and water is available .
and wait and see if he improves.
