Re: We lost Mousa yesterday morning.
Thanks everybody, it feels strange counting the sheep and only going up to 14.
I spoke to one of the vets who is from a farming background and he said it is quite common for sheep to suffer from intestinal tumours, its just that they don't tend to live long enough to develop them. Foula was quite thin, and he thinks this may have been the problem, apparently the rumen controls the eating, so because the tumour is lower down the animal continues to eat. Maybe he was just saying that to make me feel better, but I admit I find some comfort in the fact, if it was the truth, there was nothing we could have done.
