Lambing


This lamb was born with joint abnormalities. Initially when born it could walk normally but after a few hours it's joint function deteriorated. We took him away from his mother to feed him by hand and banadaged his joints in the correct position, having castrated him and docked his tail. After a week the skin had become sore and irritated, so we disinfected it with iodine before redressing the front legs. Above, I am seen holding the lamb after redressing him.
