Hi everyone,
I have a sweet little bottle lamb who is about three weeks old. His mother wasn't feeding him, I don't know why other than maybe because she has worms? Anyway he was very weak but after a couple days of bottle feeding he got much better. He was energetic and taking more and more at feedings. Then he started getting weak again and slowly stopped taking the bottle. We are tube feeding him but he is not getting better. His temp was 104.2 and respiratory rate is 60. His nose and lips are pale. I think he might have pneumonia and worms?? We have him garlic juice for the worms, I'm afraid to give him a chemical wormer at his age. We are going to try to give him penicillin tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas? We are newbies to sheep!
