    EMERGENCY: Bloated/Lame Lamb?

    Thank you for your response Yeah that's where my head went first too. Just gave some banamine orally... hoping that it can bring him some relief and that he'll just work out whatever digestive problem he's having by morning? He's chewing his cud now, but it's watery so a lot is just falling...

    Completely up to date on shots. Never gets grain. He just stood up and peed a ton in a solid stream, so it's not stones

    EMERGENCY: Bloated/Lame Lamb?

    His rumen is making seemingly normal sounds. He's burping a lot. Breathing and gum color is normal, but he's clearly in pain. It's night here and no vets in my area come our for sheep at night Hope someone has some advice!

    Lamb throwing up all cud

    I used to weigh him weekly make sure that he was gaining weight (again, he was a rescue so he came to me skin and bones). I'll start weighing him again. I don't think it's over heating because it hasn't gotten very hot here (yesterday was our first day over 80) and he has lots of shade. I'll try...

    Lamb throwing up all cud

    Hello! I have a bottle raised lamb who was born in February. I rescued him, so he's the only lamb that I have, but he lives with my goat herd and mini horse.
