Not you too, RubySue. ~ time to face a hard truth.

  • I've been in denial for long enough...
    My sweet RubySue has been gradually getting skinnier over the summer, and I wouldn't immediately jump to the worst conclusion... BUT, her mama and grandmama BOTH passed from what looked like Maedi Visna.
    Maedi is exactly that... a gradual wasting of the animal, that only really reveals itself over a lengthy stretch of time. I guess I had hoped this wasn't going to be her story.
    It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, and I was wise enough to get my hoof trimming and lice treatment done just in time...
    Because, Mark is itching to start corn harvest.

    IDEAS: Ask an OT & PT who specialize in back injuries & back care to either review your vlogs or better yet, come out & assess your work in person. (Just like Courtney the nutritionist). Use Wheels whenever possible. Both Carissa & you should be turning the rotational squeeze chute - 300 lb sheep are not a 1-person job. Speaking as retired nurse who herniated disk trying to shift home care patient's bed. Can't count how often I tried to convince staff to use mechanical hoist to lift patients. Love you. Hate seeing you suffer! 💕💕

So do take care of it best you can, and start finding ways to do things differently now It will help you in the future.
