The vet is closed naturally. We found a 3 day old lamb with a broken leg in
the flat part of the back hip. We have splinted to the best of our ability .
We have given some penn but I think he should have some kind of pain killer
to help reduce any inflamation and keep him a little quite for the night. I
will be trying to get him to bottle feed during the night. He is in a dog
crate. We did this for a 3 month old angora goat who caught his foot between
the bumper & bed a couple of years ago. It was warm then to and the vet
wouldn't cast it or splint for fear of infection and magots from swet. We
just let him lay around in a small pen and it healed just fine but this guy
is so tiny. Any thoughts or home remedies would be appreaciated. Nancy
