Lamb has swollen face
« on: August 29, 2023, 07:47:28 am »
Our little guy is about 3 weeks old.  Today we noticed his eyes and ears are swollen. What could cause this and what can we do?  He is an orphan that we are bottle feeding.
Any help appreciated

Photosensitization  ? speak to your vet and keep indoors  ,normally some plant that has been eaten or maybe in your case nibbled ( never seen it in a lamb so young )     Needs an anti -inflammatory  and AB
