The baby lamb is doing well. We were a little worried the first couple of days. She was sick with diarrhea and wouldn’t eat. Heather found some good lamb nipples for her bottle and sat with her for a while so she got the hang of it. Now we worry that she’s getting too much milk! We decided to call her Ivy. She gets a name because we probably won’t be eating her. We hope she’ll make it as a breeder.
She’s still a little messy from the diarrhea but Lisa wants to give her a bath when she starts poop’n pellets.
The little jacket is because she’s pretty much hairless. It’s made of wool and we have no idea how it comes off. It isn’t stretchy like a sweater.
We put one of the wire dog crates in the x-pen so we could lock her in at night. She’s so little and defenseless anything could kill her. We had her in the garage in the box our printer came in. It’s not as cold now so she should be okay out in the barn. I can’t believe how loud she is.
Well, she has good lungs, even if her tummy wasn't feeling too good.
ReplyDeleteOMG Ivy is soooo cute! When I played the video, Oliver went nuts trying to figure out where that noise was coming from.
ReplyDeleteThe girls barked at the computer when they heard that video. She has her coat off now. I'll try and get some naked lamb pictures posted.
