Hi, thanks for the concern but we have to wait until Defra sorts out the blood tests - we should hear Mon or Tues next week. Emu is much better in herself now so I think it is just going to be one of those things. I just keep telling myself that if she had anything nasty she would be sick. but we will have to wait and see.

So sorry about the calf Issy, fingers crossed that it's just one of those things and that the others produce lovely healthy offspring Smile

Had the tests back and she doesn't have the really nasty diseases they can suffer from so will have to put it down to one of those things and hope all goes well in the future.

Unfortunately had the last test result back and it shows that she has a parasite that only springs into action when she is pregnant. the vet says that it is not the end of the world as they tend to build an immunity to it and she hopefully will hold on to the next calf. Animals eh. I have a bit of research to do Confused Confused
