Did I just save a sheep's life?
Post Body

TL;DR: A sheep appeared to be stuck on it's back so I flipped it over. Can sheep get stuck on their back?

There's a field next to my house with sheep in it. Being unemployed I leave the computer every now and then and walk over and watch the sheep. Today I was surprised to see that sheep apparently like to sun there bellies like my Great Dane does.

I go back inside and start watching a movie. An hour later I take a break form the movie and go back outside. The sheep is still on it's back. I start wondering if it's stuck.

Generally it's not looked fondly upon to hop fences and mess with peoples livestock. So I did what anyone would do and googled it. Apparently not the most common toppic online and there's conflicting answers. I decide to finish my movie and then if it's still on it's back I'll go check on it.

It's still lying there so I hop the fence. It's armpits are very sunburned and it's been peeing and pooping on itself. I grab it and flip it over. It's wool was soaking wet and it's back was caked in poop. It struggled to stand for awhile and ended up just lying down on it's stomach. It's been about an hour and I just checked on it and it's walking around acting like a sheep covered in poop.

Edit: Grammar... I know I missed some...
