This morning I noted a lamb not thriving. I ended up having to tube him.

It has been a busy morning with ewes going into areas they normally don’t for a sup of water. It’s not like they don’t have water tanks in every field.
I also realised the lamb I rescued last night is not doing very well at all. So I took him in to give extra attention to him.
This is the most mature lamb I’ve ever tubed. Due to his hypothermia it was the quickest way to resuscitate him. Fingers crossed it works.
