Liam’s in  trouble. He went out grazing with the sheep this morning, he looked fine. I went to do some chores and found him lying in the Pole Barn next to Suzy, he was trembling and breathing very rapidly – not good signs for a lamb. It’ s possible his wound yesterday was infected, or there may be something wrong with him that is entirely unrelated. I called three large animal practices, they are swamped with large animal emergencies – a bad weekend for animals around here. I might have to drive up him north as far as Ticonderoga or Granville.

I might have a line on a vet who can be here in an hour, I’m going out to try and get some penicillin into him and make him comfortable, I got him into a stall inside the barn with his mother. Just letting you know, I’ll keep you posted when I can.
