alfalafa / orchard is what we always feed. No problems. Just stinks if it gets wet and gets flies really going!

[Blackbelly] Help broken leg
The vet is closed naturally. We found a 3 day old lamb with a broken leg in the flat part of the back hip. We have splinted to the best of our ability . We have given some penn but I think he should have some kind of pain killer to help reduce any inflamation and keep him a little quite for the night. I will be trying to get him to bottle feed during the night. He is in a dog crate. We did this for a 3 month old angora goat who caught his foot between the bumper bed a couple of years ago. It was warm then to and the vet wouldn't cast it or splint for fear of infection and magots from swet. We just let him lay around in a small pen and it healed just fine but this guy is so tiny. Any thoughts or home remedies would be appreaciated. Nancy ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
Re: [Blackbelly] Alfalfa for sheep?
yup, fed my mother ewes a small flake of alfalfa at night, between the three of them... all winter, until they lambed, and now am feeding them alfalfa pellets at night. During the day, they get field grass. _MWS On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 6:18 PM, Nancy Tom Richardson cjarr...@centurytel.net wrote: alfalafa / orchard is what we always feed. No problems.
