How did this happen? I should watch before asking. Is it just curiosity? As a child we had a few sheep, they were not friendly like goats. They always acted like we were the enemy. If that puff on sulfur wound treatment is an available there that would be my choice over Blue Kote.

She came in from the pasture with them, so we are guessing that she was curious and sniffed at one. This is the second time in our 9 years with sheep that we have had to remove quills. We always keep blue kote in stock, but I will take a look for the other stuff as it is good to have options.

@@liferaisingsheep thanks for the answer. The main advantage of the sulfur puffer stuff is it is not aerosol, which I’m sure the sheep wouldn’t appreciate on her nose! 😸

I was thinking about this further, and I don’t know why I didn’t think of sharing. My first go to for all pet injuries is called Darin’s Solution. It was developed during I think WW2… it is basically bleach water buffered with baking soda. You can look it up on the internet for the recipe and background. They say to make it in fresh daily but that is not necessary. My mom was a home health RN, and they often used it with good results for bed sores/pressure ulcers. You can put it in a bottle like what comes in hair color kits, or mustard bottle for a picnic that squirts but can be closed or sealed. I have used it on everything from poison ivy to a deep wound on a rooster. It does not burn upon application, you can also sponge it on with a paper towel, cotton ball, gauze , whatever you have on hand. For me its benefit is I always have the ingredients on hand, it is very inexpensive, and it works. If treating a weeping or wet wound that is where the sulfur wound treatment can be really good. When I go to the farm store for chicken food I will get its actual name/ active ingredient so you can see if it is available in NZ.😸
