First ever problem with a Ouessant giving birth

We have had a sad few days. One of the Ouessant had problems giving birth. The lamb died and even the vet couldn’t get it out. Seems likely it was breech. 

Eventually after a number of injections the vet did manage to get it out, but it was a bit rotted and gruesome by then. Pretty unpleasant experience for the ewe (and us!). She has recovered after antibiotics that I had to inject for a few days.

We will probably cull her in the autumn as we don’t want a repeat of this problem (birthing problems are rare in Ouessants and she has had other lambs ok, but we don’t know what the effect of these problems will be on her). Seems sad to have gone to the effort of saving her just to kill her, but that is life, we can’t have one we don’t want bred as they all live with the ram.
