Knucled newborn lambs
« on: December 29, 2008, 10:26:00 pm »
Anybody come across any solutions for knuckled lambs? Have just had two good single lambs born which are walking on their knuckles - I have tried splints in various positions but not had much luck

Hi, glad the lambs are better. Did you do anything or did it get better on its own?
