My yearling keeps jumping out her paddock to get into the next feild. I always find her munching the grass verge around the edge never in the centre where a crop of baby xmas trees are growing.
Ive added extra readigrass to her feed and split it into three feeds a day, she also gets add lib hay, but is not interested and just jumps the fence.
Im putting the fence up by two feet at the weekend - its alreday 3'9 barbed wire and has not hurt herself at all which is a mirical.
Today i went down and she was out, she came straight to me when i called her but instead of following me back into her own field i had to get her headcollar to get her to move.
Leaving her in her field i went to sort out her feed, when i came back she hadn't moved a muscle. i showed her, her feed and see ignored it, didnt even sniff it just stood there.
i checked her over and cant see anything amiss, resps, temp pulse ok. she looks like shes been doped, standing there all dozy not moving. After a few mins she did drop and roll and got up staright away but then just stood there, stock still for another 20 mins. I cant decided if there is anything wrong as this is so out of her usual bouncy self.
Im now concerned as this xmas tree jumping has been going on a week now and im wondering if she has beem munching on the trees what toxic effect this would have and Im wondering if there is any symtoms i need to watch for?
