My 6 day old bottle lamb is shuddering a lot. Like with every breath his head and whole body shudder - even when asleep. This happens on and off throughout the day. I know they shiver to regulate their body temperature but this is very different - it's more "violent". What could be wrong? This has only been happening the past day.

Did you ever get info on this lamb? Did it survive?? I have one that has similar symptoms and I have no idea what to do about it. Hoping you can shed some light on this subject. Best wishes, Sonia
