Its Ovine Intensive Care
Cuthbert on of the older rams, collapsed in the field and had to be helped to stand up . And didnt put up their usual feisty struggle to being manhandled.
So he was brought inside , given food and water
Cuthbert is the one who probably had actinomycosis of the jaw , but we havent seen a recurrence since the original lump. He had a course of antibiotics at the time. Actinomycosis can be difficult to eradicate so we have been keeping a lookout for a recurrence, but nothing obvious so far.
And his temperature is normal for sheep (39.4 C).But under the fleece we is thin so something may be amiss .
He's got hay and water and feed.
And we will give hima couple of days inside and then see what happens
