Lamb Recovery

Mr Ashmore-Smith got some colostrum (special milk for new-borns) and a feeding tube from the vet.



We inserted the tube 30cm down the lamb's throat into its stomach, and poured 30ml of colostrum down the tube.
After about an hour, DJ lifted her head, made a noise, and tried to climb out of her box. She then drank some more colostrum from a bottle, and has been drinking well since.

This is a photo of DJ 24hours after her "rescue"...
