That will go a long way to her recovery. The lambs still stay with mom for comfort of course.<br /><br />Entropion won't sort itself out, but I can keep manipulating the eyelid to stay in place. If that doesn't work, I will use the same concept as lip filler: an injection to push out the eyelid. That will fix it. I have 2 lambs with entropion now. It's hereditary, carried by the ram, so I'm expecting more cases.<br /><br />Matilda IS due to lamb. I will of course post baby 'Tilda pictures for you and the kids.Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-72383254109571909882015-03-29T00:29:24.706-07:002015-03-29T00:29:24.706-07:00Poor Gregor- I hope she and her lambs continue to ...Poor Gregor- I hope she and her lambs continue to improve.

Birthing is never a pretty business, is it? <br />So you are now six lambs for six. Good work! Only 32 to go!<br />Godspeed, and good health to beast and human alike.Seesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305276086619415086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-71809149555869317782015-03-28T04:35:40.935-07:002015-03-28T04:35:40.935-07:00I'm so glad to see that your ewe Gregor is up...I'm so glad to see that your ewe Gregor is up and eating, that is a very good sign that she might make it!!
