Hopefully you are all having a lovely and relaxing Sunday. The weather here is beautiful, if windy, and the kids are about due to crash from their sugar largesse left by the bunny.
I am enjoying the newly blooming flowers and the pea plants which have begun to sprout.
But the BIG news we are happy to share is that Wembley the wonderlamb has made a full and complete recovery.
When I found her downed several weeks back with a thiamine deficiency, we were pretty worried. When we brought her home from the vet that evening, we were unsure how she’d do through the night.
She lived in my tub for two weeks before I felt like I could move her out to the sheltered front porch. But after a few days I was still pretty worried. She was still crooked, and could barely stand on her own. When the nearly three week mark hit and she was walking sideways, unable to lift her head completely, I was really worried. But then, suddenly one day, she decided she’d had enough, and walked around the gate and off the porch. I took her down to the other lambs (lots of bleating was to be had) and worried yet again how she’d do through the night.
But now? Holding her own at the feed trough and hay bale. Walking straight, no head tilting or any indication of illness other than being a bit skinny still.
The only difference between her pre-illness self and now is that she got used to us being her food-bearers, and consequently is very friendly and cuddly now.
I’m pretty comfortable calling this turn around nothing short of miraculous.
Sweet face. So happy she is up and about. x
