My sheep is depressed, sneezing, and has a runny nose. What's wrong?

Question

Hi, we have just purchased a property in Wonga Park and the land has come with x1 sheep. The lady who we bought the land from said the sheep is depressed because it knows she is leaving. Regardless I went to check on it and upon viewing it the sheep is depressed, sitting on the ground with its head low and has a lot of mucus on its nose but also it is evident it has been sneezing as the mucus is over its chest. When listening to its breathing, its nose appears blocked. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other

It's good that you went to check on Bob, because it does sound like he is not feeling well. Sheep don't tend to get too attached to people, so I really doubt it is psychological depression causing him to be down like this. This is more likely due to a respiratory disease, or possibly nasal bots. It's best to call a vet to come out and examine Bob. They can help identify the cause of this and ensure he gets proper treatment. If you are not necessarily interested in keeping Bob, then you may also consider calling an animal rescue organization in your area to take Bob and care for him. I hope that helps and Bob gets better soon.
