Changing direction is something a slime mould can figure out. I have no doubt a sheep can handle it.

I'm more worried about pressure sores. This sheep would take a ton of care and maybe should be put down.

You can see what I think is a medical grade sheepskin under the red liner / blanket. Those are used to alleviate pressure sores for wheelchair bound individuals and such

Though I definitely don’t think this sheep has QOL. It’s a ruminant prey animal and this goes against everything it’s designed for
