I am thinking it is a nervous thing. Only really does it when we are in the pen with her. That is a very interesting read. Thank you!

I have been giving the lambs Vitamin B12 complex and Selenium and Vitamin E complex. They have been given the second dose of Banamine and Nuflor and have seen a huge difference!! The only problem now is that the ewe lamb looks like she is constantly trying to urinate . She is urinating but...

Forgot to add that all the sheep also have free range to loose minerals that are specifically for sheep. The ram is not showing and sign of weakness. He is with a wether we keep for company for him and they are both doing fine. They eat same feed and same hay..

The feed is sheep feed and I have checked the amount of copper. We have had one successful birth and the two lambs I am taking care of now, their mom is doing great? I will be discussing getting some labs drawn as soon as the vet gets back in town and hopefully find out what is going on...

@Baymule Thank you! Gave the two lambs a dose of Banamine and Nuflor last night and they seem to have a little more spark as of this am. Will give another dose tomorrow and hope they recover from whatever they have..

ok you will never believe what happened today..came home during work day to feed baby and check on mommy and as I was checking her girls parts to make sure she had stopped bleeding guess what I saw???? A pair of hooves ??? Yes I helped her deliver her third baby!!!! Called the vet and he is not...

Well here is the update......c-section perfomed this afternoon due to ewe not progressing with induction :(..ram and ewe lamb born and lost the ram lamb...waiting to see how the ewe lamb does. Mom very weak and wiped out but still not getting up. We placed her on a bale to get some circulation...
