Hi Mark,

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to contact me regarding our sickly sheep.

I have never had a sheep with laminitis but have a fair wealth of experience of horses with it.This sheep is and has been severely overweight for some years now. It seems strange that she should go down with laminitis so soon after arriving here. I have wondered for a while whether the laminitis is to do with the different nutrients etc in the grass between what she was eating in Derby to the different nutrients in our Essex grass.

Any additional help you could offer in this respect Mark would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Sue
