He should have died
Beethoven witnessed most of his flock be killed, before being viciously mauled by loose dogs. When the property owners found him, they thought he was dead. But Beethoven is a survivor and he needs YOUR help!
Last month, dogs broke into a local sheep farm killing nearly a dozen.
The smallest? A 4-week-old lamb. The farmers placed his badly mauled body inside a box for burial. Thirty-six hours later, they dug a grave and when they opened the box, the lamb was still alive!
They called a veterinarian, who came out to the farm and supplied the family with antibiotics. Unfortunately, the lamb was rejected by his mother and surviving flock. The family reached out to us for help.
When he arrived, he needed additional medical care. Our veterinarian debrided his wounds, administered antibiotics, bandaged him up, and supplied him with ongoing pain management.
The dogs tore off both of his ears and ripped off skin and tissue from his neck. It is no wonder the family thought he was dead. It’s a miracle he survived at all. In addition to his bite wounds, Beethoven is partially or completely deaf. The violent shaking may also have caused damage to his brain.
