This is Basil, who currently resides in my kitchen. One of a pair of twins, who appeared Ok with his mum and left the lambing sheds after 24 hours. Philip picked him up off the field on Thursday, cold wet and shivering, we didn't think he would make it. His breathing was very laboured, and he was wheezing. However he drank a bottle of milk as soon as he came in so he was a survivor. four days on he is still alive, after some antibiotics his breathing is a lot better, and he can now drink 1/2 pint of made up milk in one go, he is still unable to stand on his own, but he can turn himself over and we hold him up on his legs and he can then almost take his weight hopefully if he continues to gain strength he will be alright.
Finger crossed........
