The ewe was now lying on a grass. She looked in a very bad way and having been stuck up side down on the rocks for some time certainly made matters worse.
We decided to give the lamb some cow's milk to give it a fighting chance while waiting for the farmer's son to come back from work.
My brother in law's toddler donated one of his bottles so that we could use it to feed the lamb.
We also put some water in a milk bottle to give the ewe something to drink too.
It was nice to see that the lamb really perked up after its.... first..... drink!
Unfortunately, this is how the story ends. We went away afterwards for a couple of hours and when we came back both animals had disappeared. We assumed that the farmer's son came and picked them both up.
We never found out what happened to that cute little lamb. It is possible that they were both disposed of as hand feeding a lamb takes a lot of time and commitment and the ewe was not in a good way.
We will never know but at least, we tried to help a little.....
