Coloured Ryelands 2016
One of our lambs was born and started walking on her knuckles, we believe this is because of how she was laid with her twin whilst she was inside of her mummy
Here's what we did
First we had to catch her :)
Then we had to use cotton wool to provide padding behind her knuckle, then we added some lolli sticks (so that she couldn't bend them) with extra padding (so they didn't rub) and then we strapped them up with bandages. We needed to change these every one - two days to prevent irritation, eventually one leg was fine but the other leg took a little while longer.
Catch me if you can
First we had to catch her every 1-2 days to change the dressings, even if it's raining
Finally!
Then we needed to go into the barn to keep dry
Nice and dry
It didn't take long for her to be able to walk properly
Good as New
