Mammy grunts when Lily nurses. Her back arches and she chews cud. Also shes panting again. And is her back area still supposed to be messy. Also her baa is weaker but im wondering if thats because she doesnt want to hurt lilys ears.

That all sounds normal to me...except,maybe, the muted baa.

Her rear end can, and probably will, be messy for up to a month after birth. Typically though she will stop discharging within a couple of weeks.

I would suggest leaving Lily on Mammy. Even if Mammy does have a fever. Lambs do better on their mothers then they will ever do on a bottle. Removing a lamb you always run the risk of Mammy rejecting her down the road even if she is only gone for a couple of days.

Okie we think the muted baa is because shes really really sore lily is a big baby compared to the opening.

Hi guys just thought I'd update. Lily is doing great. I figured out Mams lost her baa because she was screaming at the top of her lungs during delivery. We expanded Lily's play room so she can bound around and be a perfect little girl.
