lamb is from a ewe with no milk. tried to graft to one of my ewes with new lamb. she let lamb stay with her, but not nurse. i feed lamb colestrum for 2 days. switched to ewe replacer yesterday. lamb does not like it. this morning had some bright yellow runny poop - some on tail and legs. ate and acted fine. next feeding - fairly blood tinged runny poop. still acting ok. ate some. i gave it a shower and cleaned it up. no temperature and not hypothermic. what should i do? it is going to be in low 30's tonight. should i keep in or put back outside? wrapped it in blanket after shower and it has been asleep for an hour... also poop does not stink.... advice appreciated..
 
Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. Personally, I'd keep her in.

Not sure about the poop. I would stress about it too much if she seems perky otherwise. Just keep a close eye on her.
 
I'm sorry, I'm just now getting around to seeing this. How's your lamb doing now?
