| GasX thin strips help get rid of the bloat so you can give them the oil in a bottle. |

Hey Leddi
I have a new born lamb that her back feet are not developed right and I was thinking of making her little shoes or something. She walks but it is not easy for her. Any Ideas? |

| Get them vaccinated for what they call black leg. That really helps with them not dyeing |

| She put the very large needle in the left side past the ribs. There is a hollow spot. Half way between the last rib and the hip. You should be able to feel it. |

I do believe the yogurt is helping more than anything else. I am lucky and was able to get some that is made at a local dairy. So it is alive, fresh, and no added stuff.
I now know how to release ... |

| Have had to limit her water intake. She wants to drink but I don't want her to get bloated again. Giving her 2 oz yogurt and 2 oz milk every two hours. So far so good |

| She is still alive but breathing very hard. We were able to get a small amount of oil in her and the bloating has gone down. I am going to see if I can find live yogurt for her. |

| I don't think so, I have been giving her 6 oz 4 times a day. But the grass did really green up the last few days I am hoping that is what caused it because if it is I can keep her off grass. |
