Barbara is in surgical procedure as I write this, and I want your help to get her via this.
Final month, Barbara arrived with solely half of her udder. Initially used for 4-H, a household purchased Barbara to breed and lift her lambs for slaughter.
She developed an an infection in her udder. The household used residence treatments to “deal with” it, however Barbara wanted veterinary care.
The tissue turned necrotic and black, and half her udder fell off. As a result of Barbara may now not nurse, the household didn’t wish to breed her. They felt their solely choice was to ship her to public sale and slaughter.
You can provide her the veterinary care she deserves.
And that’s why, at present, Barbara is in surgical procedure to take away the remaining udder. Anesthetizing any animal comes with dangers, however these dangers are larger with ruminants like sheep. There’s additionally a big blood provide that runs to her udder. We hope that as a result of the tissue is already useless, the blood provide is not going to be as nice.
This surgical procedure will run round $2,500 – it must be carried out in a sterile surroundings with Barbara beneath full anesthesia.
Your donation goes towards her surgical procedure and restoration!
