[blackbelly] Monday morning update on pregnant ewe with broken leg

[Carol J. Elkins]

Well, either the ewe has had second thoughts about having those lambs right 
now or she was not in labor. It could be that the zen look of early labor 
is the same as the zen look of being in pain with a broken leg. But she is 
moving around more than yesterday and I decided to tend to tackle the leg 
problem since she seems to have given me a reprieve on the lamb problem.

I have a vet coming this afternoon and hopefully he can splint her leg with 
the least amount of stress as possible. I'll let you know how she's doing.

Life is never dull with these critters, is it?
