fluffy thoughts in her direction would be much appreciated...

I don't suppose there is some sort of self righting mechanisim for sheep to prevent this happening again?

Thanks everyone... she is resting now in the stable with plenty of warm bedding and Ginger and Ewenity for company... she hates to be alone... I have been there just lying with her and giving her cuddles... obviously she is subdued and in shock but hopefully she will recover... obviously I well keep everyone informed how she is doing...

Unfortunatly, Flossie is extremely old in sheepie years (many sheep don't live past 10. Flossie is 16) and I think Jeff mentioned that she has problems with her joints and isn't quite as strong as she once was. It probably requires too much dexterity and strength for her to self-right.

Still, its a testemant to her incredible sheepie fortitude and Yak's loving treatment of his flock that this is the first time he's ever had to call a vet for her...

Flossie is stronger than this, and will be doubtlessley be back munching biscuits in her role as sublime ruler of the Minter flock in no time.

*HUG*

Best wishes for flossie..
I've got to take my cat to the vet's tomorrow. She had a scratch on her eye, and her inner eyelid has been sewn up for the last two weeks, and there's a shirt button stitched on at the side of her closed eye. I'm not sure if my vet is having a laugh or what. And she's got one of those plastic funnels taped around her neck so she won't scratch it. Not happy, she walks around backwards mostly

You could invent one.. it could be a thing like inflatable water-wings.. or perhaps, tie on a webcam so you know if she's stuck in a fence or upside down. Or at the very least a tilt switch and radio transmitter..

I've never hugged a sheep (of a Yak for that matter).
But *HUGS* to you both anyway.
Hope she's feeling herself soon.
