Broken Leg
« on: October 11, 2015, 09:12:09 pm »
The ewe stepped on one of her twins :'(.  I'm sure there is a fracture as the lamb bears little weight on her hind leg.  Since I'm not feeling a break, do any of you know how to tell if the break is above or below the hock?  Splinting is going to be considerable different if it is above the hock.

Since MyLamb seems to be gone, I can't reference past posts.  Time to start anew here :).

The only break I have dealt with was very obvious. Bone was broken clean through and flopping. This splint will work well for your lamb regardless of location, if the leg really is broken. http://midstateswoolgrowers.com/store/product.php?productid=664&page=1
