Helen 18:22

This is a very hard time for you. I'm truly sorry.

Dan 18:06

Thanks everybody. We are all very sad. She was such a lovely lovely animal. She's going for a full lab post mortem tomorrow.

Margaret 15:49

So sorry to hear that Bridget has passed away. Very sad.

Cindy 15:30

You tried so hard to save her Dan and we will all miss Bridget - such a sad day for you and Heather - Rest in Peace Bridget. xx

Helen 15:25

I am so sorry, Dan. I know this is a huge loss for you. You love those sheep!

Milly 15:20

Oh,so sorry

Dan 15:10

Yes I am sorry to say she has passed away. I took the camera down out of respect for her.

Cindy 14:08

Sorry that should read 13-45

Cindy 14:04

If you look back to around 13-25 Helen you can see she is not well

Helen 14:00

Signal has gone down. Not a good sign.

Cindy 13:54

I think it is too late Helen but your prayers will help her find peace.

Helen 13:10

I'm going to try prayer. If it doesn't help it certainly won't hurt. And her namesake, St. Bride, was a powerful woman.

Cindy 11:38

Thanks for staying with her Dan

Cindy 11:23

Not looking good - so sad

Andrea 11:13

Hello!

Susan 10:40

North Ronaldsay sheep fed on a diet of terrestrial herbage were found to succumb to copper poisoning, despite a relatively high level of molybdenum (MacLachlan and Johnston, 1982). The Orkney breed also appear to be susceptible (Wiener et al., 1977)

Cindy 10:39

She seemed a lovely kind and gentle vet - I hope all the other North Ronaldsway gang are ok - good luck Bridget.

Dan 10:14

She may have got acute copper poisoning. It's hard to tell if it's chronic or acute, but it looks very much like copper poisoning. We've done everything we can for her now so time will tell. The next 24 hours we should know which way she's going to go.

Dan 09:36

North ronaldsays are particularly susceptible to it and it builds up gradually over time in the liver then eventually the liver can’t cope and it gets into blood stream. Careful management of diet can help to keep it under control

Cindy 09:03

How would Bridget get copper poisoning?

Cindy 09:01

Hello everyone

Dan 08:58

The vet is coming out to see Miss Bridget

Debbie 08:49

Good morning

Dan 08:16

Think we are going to need to pray and hope for little Bridget

Dan 08:16

If it is copper poisoning, the prognosis is not good. Waiting for 8.30am to ring vet again.

Dan 08:04

Looks like she's done a very unhealthy looking wee. We thought it was blood at first. I am increasingly thinking she's got copper poisoning.

Susan 07:42

Morning All

Milly 07:06

Having another drink now !

Milly 06:37

Walking round now,looking a bit better

Milly 06:08

Milly 05:55

Looks like she's drinking !

Milly 05:54

Good morning all !

Milly 05:54

Helen 01:38

Well, Happy Hallowe'en, everyone. No child, big or little, came to my door for candy. It's just as well!
