Hi
 Last night I found a lamb in the middle of the field freezing cold abandoned by his mother. We stomach tubed him and put him under a heat lamp over night and he has picked up and is now standing and looking alert. However his stomach is making a lot of noises and his stomach is quite hard and not soft. Is this ok? It feels a bit like a balloon but it doesn't look big. Is he ok?

Could be watery mouth....is he wet under the chin? They have noisy bloaty bellies with watery mouth and if so it needs oral ab quickly

As Sbom says it needs the vet, good luck

Enemas are also advised for watery mouth/belly to help the passage of fermented milk/sticky faeces in the gi tract.
