She is a bottle baby lamb. When I took her to the vet at 2 weeks of age the Dr suspected Navel Ill. No testing was done though. She seems healthy other than having a swollen Knee and somewhat swollen hoof on the same front leg. Some days the leg is better than other days. Less swollen and...

I have an 8 week old lamb that has been on Banamine for the maximum amount of time for the relief of pain and inflammation in her front knee. Is there another alternative? I know people can use ginger and probably a multitude of other natural sources for pain relief. I'm hoping there is...

My biggest concern at the moment is the one with lungworm or pneumonia just not sure what's wrong. Ya, she said it's likely joint ill in the small one. The one in the splint is fine other than the hoof.

I re-splinted the leg using your suggested method. So far so good with the exception of her hoof slanting off to the the side just the past couple of days when she's standing. The vet wasn't in to ask but the receptionist suggested it might be that the hoof isn't getting worn down as it...

The other little one is still favoring the same front leg. She is the youngest of the three. The knee joint is swollen and is also swollen just above her hoof of the same leg. We noticed this on Saturday. She eats well but isn't terribly energetic. She's quite a bit smaller that the other 2...

Thank you for your response. I thought that would be way too soon to remove the splint. We did put the splint back on and she seems back to normal. Hopefully I did ok with it.

I am new to sheep. We just picked up 3 Orphan lambs a week ago. One had gotten her lower front leg stepped on and broken by her mama and has been in a splint. She is now around 2 and 1/2 weeks old. The operation we bought her from said to remove the splint in a few days. We did so...
