dead lamb
« on: April 15, 2015, 08:45:36 am »
I went down this morning to feed Lamby only to find her dead. Her belly is very distended so I am assuming that it happened not long after feeding last night. She was 3 weeks old. Any thoughts please?

Yes sounds like bloat too, most likely caused by milk plus too much hard food  :bouquet:

The belly distends after death, so may not be (is probably not) significant.  Sorry you've lost her  :hug:
