Had a male lamb born yesterday without an anus and urethra hole. What do I do please tell me if any of you have had this happen before. Thank you all.

I've had them born with a membrane still formed over the anus ----managed to pierce it and they then do fine

Had one this year like this but i didn't notice it until i found it dead at 2 days old ---just couldn't crap anything out i guess  :(

For future reference ,  it depends on how thick the covering  ,it can be a very thin membrane which you can cut or thick and some times your vet can cut and repair . Ewe lambs can have no anus and poo out of their vagina which doesn't seem to bother them

I'm confused now. Can't it wee in the normal boy way?
