Wur tiny yow lamb had a watery eye with some kind of white pearly scale over the black part. So today we loaded up Elsie-yow and the two lambs and took them tae toon tae see the vet! It turned out the yow lamb had part of her lower eyelid turned in and the eyelashes were torturing her little eye. (Hence the scale thingy.)
The poor little lamb had to have some painful treatment but her eye seems to be doing very well and she seems much relieved! You should have seen the look on folks faces when I came strolling through the waiting room holding a lamb hahaha!!
Elsie was so mellow that we went aboot toon doing messages while she and her lambs were snuggled in the back of the pickup truck in a deep bed of straw. (The pickup has a cap so they weren't exposed to the elements.)
Now the sheep are settled back into the lambing pen and hopefully the little yow lamb will be better in a few days!

glad the lamb`s ok, just read your `no more coo`s please` entry, you have me sympathies tho I dinnae hae ony coos, only goats. Orcadians tend tae be so laid back it`s incredible! masters o` the understatement, Orcadians. I like it though, makes a change frae maist folks running aroond like heidless chickens in a crisis. :) (nae offense meant tae ony chickens)
