[Jacob-list] Broken Leg

[MView16 at aol.com]

Hi Bonnie,

I had a beautiful Shetland ewe who managed to break a back leg.  My vet put 
her in a big cast made of a lightweight material which was applied in strips 
and hardened quickly.  That ewe dragged her cast around and never missed a 
beat.  When we removed it, she was perfect.  My vet said that smaller sheep 
with scrappy personalities  are much more successful patients.  According to 
her, they are more agile and determined to survive.  The whole process cost 
me about $160, and I definitely think it was worth it.

Good Luck,
Jeanne Massey
