Rose is still standing... like a little scarecrow. Meagan thought we may be able to dribble milk into her throat with an eye dropper, so she has gone to town to get one.

Well, I've been calling but I know you're busy. You have to find something larger than an eye dropper..look at the size of teat..get something that large..like a rubber kitchen glove or something..milk the momma and then put it in the glove then rub some of it on Rose's face..so she has to lick it off..you'll have to 'force' her a few times but once she realizes what it is she'll probably suck it down. I remember Stephen having to do this with one of the lambs when it's momma rejected it. They have bottle at the feed store but don't know how much time you have to try this..when will the vet see her?

Ok..i don't know why it posted 4 times! I swear I only clicked the button once! LOL

Heh. It posted more than for times. I already removed some of them.
The problem is that she couldn't/wouldn't suck. We thought we might be able to just trickle it in.
