A new sheep.

Meet Rambam (pictured above). This little ram was found lying on the side of a road, he was suffering from a severe skin condition and was very thin and distressed.A visit to the vet confirmed he has Sheep Scab, highly contagious to other sheep but thankfully not to other animals.He will need a course of injections to clear the infection which is covering his entire body his coat is literally hanging off him and undernesth his skin is cracked and covered in open sores.Poor little chap.As soon as he is well enough he needs to be castrated but right now he needs to get better, after that we will either find him a home or he will stay with the 3 pet sheep already here.
Im having trouble with William lurcher who has always been terrified of fireworks and loud bangs but has now developed a fear of high winds and whenever there is a particularly wild night outside he cannot rest, he keeps me awake all night with his trembling and terror.I think he may be needing sedatives for such times though I am averse to using these longterm.I think its time to have another read of my herbal/homeopathic books and try to find a natural remedy.Its upsetting to see a dog so filled with fear, the strange thing is that this has only started occurring recently, mind you the weather here is getting wilder and wilder so perhaps it did not sound so loud and fierce before now.
