Hi - as the title says ..... ewe lamb born last night about 7pm - up and sucking quickly, full belly and contented. This morning passed some nice orange poo, but seemed to squat for a long time trying to pee and only a dribble came out. This afternoon - noticed her abdomen looks slightly 'dropped' and her abdomen is sort of full looking. She is getting up, toddling over to mum and drinking, not looking miserable or anything, however her twin sister is much bouncier.
This lamb was first born, ewe was a bit clumsy when lamb no. 2 arrived (in her desperation to make sure it was cleaned up and looked after - she could have stepped on her? Could there maybe be some internal swelling? I do have metacam and a mini (insulin) syringe having had a previous 'gurgly chest lamb (born backwards) - should I use that in case it might help?
Precious ewe lamb as born to one of my best ewes who had a full uterine prolapse last year, survived, wasn't expected to get in lamb and yet here she is with twins.
Can anyone offer any advice?
