We heard today that some one we know is lucky to be alive after Sepsis infection while on holiday in the US. It’s obviously an extremely dangerous infection ( or whatever its term). Is it very common in the 21st century?

Have been having the odd case the past few years but this year has been worse. 4 gimmers so far with suspected infection. 2 are dead, and currently have 2 being treated, one we have being pushing out and in to a shed with a wheel barrow for nearly a month to get grass, she is almost back on her...

Had a ewe lamb triplets and mastitis on both sides. Had a big bag but felt soft and normal. Went to check milk and now hard and cold. She’s had a jab of Trymox and metacam and used uddermint. Since then one side has gone down. The other side is very large and firm. The coldness comes and goes...

Been the course of discussion yesterday. If jabbing a ewe post lambing with more "extensive" assistance delving around inside, what routine do folks use? I tend to go one Alamycin LA , one jab of Metacam. Other guy said 3 AB jabs, 2-3 days apart. One Metcam.

Hiyah, Had to assist an ewe Thursday with twins (first time mum - large first lamb and legs back second lamb), both alive and good size, but mum started to smell. Given metacam and alamycin la, but still very offensive. She is happy, eating, drinking and looking after her twins but still has...

Had a ewe lamb yesterday, 2 good lambs unassisted- plenty of milk- textbook lambing really. This morning a different story, she just wants to lie down all day, won’t eat and seems to be breathing heavy and quickly don’t know if that’s just a coincidence. Whats everyone’s thoughts ?
