Hi!
I have two orphan lambs that we got from a local farmer. One of them is about 7 days old but continues to poo liquid yellow poo! the other one has started to firm up what it lets out but this one is leaking quite a lot of this funny stuff. Its different in colour and consistency to the very young lamb poo that I recognised- we have done this a few times but never seen this kind of poo. She isn't taking well to the bottle either, only eating 100/150 of the milk (powdered stuff) except from the early morning feed when she's hungry and will take 250ml.
could she just have a bad appetite or is the poo a sign of illness??
any help would be great thank you

Put it on PSF or Rehydion for 48 hours then back on the milk.  it will come right

If its fluid with maybe blood in it , take the lamb to your vet ( quickly ) and get it treated with a shot of Spectam  , Orojet , Penicillin , if you had the runs you would take oral Diocam  and then reyhdron .  Poo should be thick and very sticky

Thank you! I took her to the vet and he gave us a course of antibiotics & electrolyte - said she had ecoli.

She was looking much better but Now struggling with running noses!!!!
