never thought of Guava, but it should have almost everything a ruminant needs...

Oneta: Have you checked to be sure she doesn't have another lamb in there?? Sounds like she may still want to labor and there is something wrong. If you daughter has small hands, I would get a glove and shoulder sleeve and have her find out. Mineral oil or vaseline. Smaller hands the better. My old girls cringe when I put on gloves!!

Re: [Blackbelly] Sick Ewe - update and 2 questions
We had a miracle baby born last year. After much effort to save the first time momma ewe she was dying and could not be saved. We did a C section and took the twin lambs out of her. The first lamb's lungs were not developed enough for it to breath and slowly passed away. The second lamb was able to breathe but just barely. The second lamb was so small it barely covered my two outstretched hands. It was so premature its eyes were sealed shut and it would take 10 days before he could open them. The vet said he could not be saved but I am stubborn. Everyone in the family held that lamb and even slept with that lamb for two weeks. Very frequent small meals of colostrums and then colostrums/milk replacer then eventually straight milk replacer. We started with a syringe dribbling meals into his mouth and worked our way up to nipples. This lamb learned how to negotiate our house totally blind only using his hearing. I believe that all the holding and talking to that baby and its will to live was the secret. The baby was never allowed a chance to get cold or depressed/stressed. There is a magic that takes place when a lamb is sleeping on your chest content with the world. This baby is a ram in my ram pen today and is still a sweetheart to be around.
