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..

Thank you @Baymule . I have read the articles which are very interesting . We do have cats and unfortunately we have a lot of rodents that are around also. I thank you for your support and will be talking with the Vet to get them tested. I love my sheep but this has just been very...

We had alot of rain last spring? The ram we did raise ourselves. We have not brought any new sheep for the past two years. The hay is from our farm and my brother has been feeding it to his cattle and goats without any problems.

I can't wait for this lambing season to be finished! I have lost 11 lambs and two ewes!! The vet is unsure what is going on and feels it may be the ram that we used this year who has been on our farm but just used him this year. The ewes would go down in the hind quarters and just get...

Just thought I would give everyone a little update...we had to put mom down:(..VERY HARD thing to do but on the bright side the little ewe lamb is now a month old and doing great! She has her own little pen until her broken leg is a little stronger which will be real soon.:D She is such a cute...

Sorry I have not updated sooner but I have been sooo busy. Baby ram lamb died:(..Mom will have to be put down:(:(:(..I have tried everything to get her up with no success. It almost seems like she also had a stroke just dont know. Little ewe lamb is slowly coming around but just to complicate...

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...

Just spoke with the Vet going to induce and see how she does:fl

Rafters are too high up. I was just out with her she drank alot and took one bite of hay. Poop is stringy now and soft. Still moaning. She tries soo hard to get up

She cant get up I have tried. She is sitting up on her brisket not laying down on her side.. the back legs just wont work and you can tell her pain increases when we try and lift her. We try to hand feed her every couple of hours give her fresh warm water also. When the vet calls back I am...

I am just worried she is not eating only taking very very sm amts of food. I can get her to drink warm water with molassess and vitamins at times. I dont want to rush the birth but how long can she be down without long term damage? She cant use her hind legs she tries to get up but just cant...

She is about approx 1 to 2 weeks from due date not sure of exact date the ram was with them from the beginning of sept to middle of october. I did call the Vet yesterday to suggest the same thing( to induce) but never got a return phone call.. has anyone ever had their lambs delivered by c-...
