Day 6
Bottle lambs had a playdate. DH was watching the preemies walking (hunching, limping) and examined them. He wanted to check their cord stumps since an infection can cause that limping. Preemie girl's lame side was swollen so he examines again and found that her femur is broken. He says it's stable enough to let her body try to heal on its own. I sure hope it does. Broken leg on livestock usually means getting put down.

Bless her heart - no wonder she didn't want to stand up.
