We are bottle feeding one of our lambs, and he has had very bad abdominal pain the day before yesterday, and again today. I did some research online already but I couldn't really find anything.
We fed him only goat milk (from our own doe) until he was a week old, which is when the Lamilco milk replacer said to introduce the powder.
He has trouble standing, ears pulled back, a little bit of the whites of his eyes showing, and breathes heavy.
The first day he had this, I gave him a mixture of vitamin C and and good bacteria, and we also let him soak a bit in a tub of warm water and epsom salt. Before that he hadn't peed, but he peed in the bath, and right after that he looked more comfortable.
Later he pooped, and it had some mucus in it.
He was 100% back to normal yesterday, and I hate that this is happening again.
Thanks in advance for your help.
