Title: Hand Rearing Lambs-Procedures
Post by: dottydiva62 on April 18, 2010, 09:55:09 pm

Ok> My lambs are doing well apart from upset tummies which seem to of settles down after having several doses of probiotic.

So what next, do I worm, will they need vaccinations and I have heard about treat them for flies and getting dipped, I only have two, I am a complete novice so please excuse my ignorance but we all have to start somewhere and I want to get it right.

They are on 4 feeds per day of about just over a litre of lamlac in total, they are also on pellets and nibbling hay.

I just need to be guided as a course of action.

Thank you,
