Thanks Nancy I had something similar happen to a goat last week. After I freed her, I popped a couple chewable baby aspirin in her mouth, and she was feeling a lot better shortly. It wouldn't be a bad idea to try relieving the pain. Also, some blue kote on the wound to protect against germs, dirt, etc. Julian _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
