Update. Our lamb is 4 weeks old. he is growing and eating great, his episodes which usually occur now when he’s sleeping seems to be less. We had a vet come out finally (finally found one locally), yesterday she said everything was normal except his heart rate at times was irregular. he has...

Thank you for brining this up. I have been mixing the milk with Luke warm water not hot.. I’ll start this ASAP. I’ve been feeding him cold milk since day 3 but thinking I should warm it for him and if there’s any left over to throw out instead of putting back in fridge ( cold bottle) I am...

she says she is and spent time on sheep farms while in school, but I honestly do not think she knows much. Told me all the info on raising lambs is on sheep and goats.com. 🙄 I won’t offer the creep since I think it’s a waste at this time. Good news is he perked up and has eaten 4 ounces since...

So I took his temp 102.2 this am respiratory rate is normal. He was fine until like 6 pm last night when he started not wanting to suckle the bottle... usually at night he drinks about an ounce every 2-3 hours... last night he woke up every 2-3 hours but would barely intake he had 2 ounces all...

I am going to do nutri drench again in am. Yesterday until this evening he was doing well. Now not eating well. I finally got an ounce in him in the past 4-5 hours... he just chews the bottle doesn’t want to drink which hasn’t been an issue until this evening.... do you think that I can use...

His heart rate has been normal respiratory rate normal and temp normal. Everything normal other than past two days a little more fatigue and then the episode yesterday in yard. no episode today.

He’s a NM DAHL He’s about 1/2 the size if not 1/3 size of my other lambs. Though he is growing. He’s eating every hour about 1-2 ounces. He doesn’t like to take too much at a time. I gave him some sheep nutri-drench this am, and that definitely gave him a pick me up. He hasn’t had an episode...

I posted a Separate thread but no one answered. Thanks for answering. I gave him 5g of jump start this am. Other than that nothing but the colustrum and milk replacer.

I have my first bottle fed lamb. He was very small when born and rejected. I feed him colustrum the first 24+ hours. About 1-2 ounces per hour. Then switched to lamb milk replacer. He’s eating 16-24 ounces per day divided feeding every 1-2 hours. he poop this am is more soft then it has been...

We had a lamb born on Monday 6 days ago. Mother rejected, so we decided to bottle feeding him. He is very small about 3 pounds. He is eating well(1-2 ounces per hour) voiding fine, and stool is normal. Last night I noticed he had an episode where he was laying down seemed to not be able To get...

My Nm Dahl ewe had a lamb the night before last. Baby was fine in am, she was eating walking fine. Last night she seemed to be good. This am I noticed she had diarrhea. And the mom is trying to get her to nurse and I did not notice her nursing during my am feedings. I gave her probiotic for...

Good morning We had a baby early am or evening last night.... I came out in am and there was a baby. I have not seen the baby feed this am... mom has milk, baby has peed and pooped in front of me.. but I don’t know if he’s feeding. I was able to get some colostrum in him, but should we be...

Good morning She died over night.

Congrats! Very exciting.

Found a vet that would see her, had to put her in the cab of the truck to get her there, but they treated her with a Pain med, anti-inflammatory and kaopectate. I gave her a some probiotics in gel form. Now it’s watchful waiting I am hoping she eats and starts drinking.
