Lily wont let him nurse again... Ugh.
For one thing her udder is lopsided, and one half is full while the other is not. Also I dont think she is producing milk fast enough. Poor guy knows where her udder is but she just wont let him nurse.. Other than that she is a fantastic mom.

Have offered him a bottle? It is probably best to do it sooner rather than later.

Yea, but I have to force him to drink. And he doesnt take the nipple for long. What could the problem be with her udder?

Is her udder or half of the udder hard and hot or just full of milk?
Without being there to check her in person, my guess is that he nursed down the one side, but the other side is full and uncomfortable and she's not letting him suck because it hurts.
I'd milk out that side a bit to make sure everything is ok. I'd also get him latched on to that side. Some single birth lambs have trouble figuring out the "2 sides to the udder" thing.
