Title: Knucled newborn lambs
Post by: hexhammeasure on December 29, 2008, 10:26:00 pm

Anybody come across any solutions for knuckled lambs? Have just had two good single lambs born which are walking on their knuckles - I have tried splints in various positions but not had much luck

As an update both lambs are now skipping across the fields happily.. albeit one has duck knees!!

Hi, glad the lambs are better. Did you do anything or did it get better on its own?
