Poor little Jersey has been through more in her first week of life than anyone should have to endure in a lifetime. Abandoned at birth, alone in a world that does not favour newborn lambs, attacked by a fox then the resulting raging infection her little body has been struggling to overcome.
If that weren’t enough, Jersey now needs the surgery we all hoped would not be necessary. On Friday morning her leg will be amputated. Her limb has died and is only going to spread toxins through her body, eventually killing her, if not removed. We know that in her fragile state surgery is far from ideal but without it she will certainly die.
