A little lamb needs to find its way

This is a message from my darling friend Claire in Oz....

We have a very seriously ill lamb at the moment. She has poliencephalomacia, swelling of the brain caused by acute thiamine loss. Please send all your positive thoughts to little Izzy as she needs all the help she can get right now. She has been in hospital since Wednesday night and has not improved but hasn't got any worse.
She is a little fighter and we know that there is still every reason to believe that she can beat it.
Our dog Misty has become a surrogate sheep companion for Dilly. Dilly has been desperately upset and is missing Izzy terribly. Misty has been living with Dilly now for a couple of days in her paddock and sleeps with her in the shelter.
They have been for walks together on their leads and Misty is keeping Dilly calm, thank the goddess for Misty.
