Relief!


Dr. Rachel Fraser - my hero - came with her able-bodied assistant, David, and took care of my ewes. After careful examination she determined they could be induced, and gave them Dexamethasone to bring on labor. She gave them epidurals, cleaned up their prolapsed back ends (not a picture anyone could be comfortable with) and laced them up. I don't have to fiddle with harnesses and push them back in any more. We should have lambs this weekend sometime. Twice this week Dr. Rachel came out right away to help me. Grateful is an understatement. Now let's hope for no more vaginal prolapses...

Alright! Please give Sombra a hug for me, and tell her to just relax and have that lamb.
