Went out to check him this morning - you know the scenario - pushing the door open quietly, looking through your fingers and expecting the worst...

And he's fine  :thumbsup:

He was lying down; got up when I offered him and oatcake, had a stretch, another oatcake or two. No slavering, no grunting, no bloat. He's had another dose of charcoal, a wee feed and has some hay to nibble on. We'll keep him in today just to keep an eye on him but, fingers crossed, he's over the worst.

He must have had quite a low dose - just enough to make him ill. Lucky boy  :) Lucky us - how attached you can become to a sheep.

That;s two pieces of good news I've heard this morning already - Remi the Brittany pup being found 18 miles away from home (how can an 8 month pup travel that far in 2 days?) and now Dickie is on the mend too.  Waiting for the third good news bulletin, what will it be? ;D

That's great news, Rosemary.  Yes, we do get attached - even when we have 300 of them we still get attached to a few favourites!

So glad he's getting better.  Just read the news.  :)

Woollyval said to make him sick but I was under the impression sheep can't vomit.
