Loving the herd life
Ok, so this morning out of the blue we have a 7 weeks old part bottle part dam raised wethered lamb showing signs of severe discomfort. Lays down a lot, seems a bit bloated, doesn't move around a whole lot, stays by himself, color is perfect, breathing a bit odd, but it is super hot today, eats fine, drank his bottle, temp is fine, but the strangest thing is he pushes. He’ll be walking around a bit, then plunk down, half roll on his side and start pushing. He's not constipated, we've seen him go. We've put him on antibiotic and mid morning gave him dex. Would've given banamine, but we had several lambs have a horrible reaction to it, so we stay away from that. Any suggestions/thoughts?
