IIRC, sheep can't turn themselves over once they're on their back.

I suppose a lamb might be able to do it if it writhed/wriggled enough, but Flossie is an older sheep.

IRC, sheep can't turn themselves over once they're on their back.

Yeah I know that a sheep on its back is often in serious trouble. I meant a mechanical device, maybe something that could be strapped on to a sheeps back and when there is pressure maybe trigger a spring to get the sheep on to her side?

Give floss a hug from me (assuming she isn't hugged out from the mass of wellwishers who got there first

) - here's hoping for a quick recovery
