Lamb Watch Day 8

Our last day at Spring Grove for Easter 2014, and an interesting end to our stay.  One of the ewes in the field had mastitis, so we had to catch her and her lambs and bring them back to the barn so that we could keep and eye on her.  The udder was hard and swollen, and the teat had been damaged by the lambs' teeth.  She was given a shot of antibiotics, but it later turned out that her mastitis had turned into black udder - also known as gangrenous mastitis.  She will probably lose part of her udder from this infection.  Naomi will keep us updated on how things develop.
