Title: 2 week old bottle lamb with bloat
Post by: Newtosheep on February 22, 2020, 05:30:49 pm

My lambs has not been eating very well the past 2 feeds and only drank 50ml her last feed.

She is bloated, so I preformed a emeua, gave her 10ml of olive oil. And gave 20ml of milk of magnesia.

What else can I do for her, she is also in the house for extra heat.

She was drinking 370ml x4 times a day, and drank really really well. She just took 50ml her last feed.

Any ideas how I can help her

Many thanks  :gloomy:

At the top of the sheep forum page you will find a whole thread on bloat. And I think somewhere [member=10673]SallyintNorth[/member] wrote a really good piece on bottle feeding lambs.
