Rosie's lambing thread: The wait is over! Welcome Rasputin!

Is the lambs back end supposed to be messy. He has a quite messy back end.

What color is the poop? Bright yellow/orange means that he is getting lots of milk and he'll be fine. If it's green or brown, there might be something wrong. If it is sticky and black, that would be the meconium or first poop.

It can be a little gross/loose the first day or three and mom should be cleaning his butt. If not, you need to clean it or it will clog and cause serious issues.
There shouldn't be a big mess nor last more than 1-3 days. It also shouldn't be runny and covering his backside. If it does, he might be sick. Is he on replacer? Replacer may be too water, too much given during each feeding, inconsistent mix or formula.

First poops are meconium, black, tar-like stuff. Soon it turns into a yellow paste and after that, mini pellets like the adults have.

Ok, other than being a bit backed up he seems fine, we will keep an eye on him. I saw him do jump in the air and run around, he has so much energy. Thank you for the fast reply
