Me again, sorry! Have finished all my lambing but have one large single ewe lamb causing me concern. She was born last Monday and started showing problems 3 days ago (after I put tail ring on).
She waggles her tail a lot, but it shows no sign of infection and her temperature is normal. Sometimes she is reluctant to stand and collapses if I try and make her - but at other times she trots around no problem. Her breathing can be a bit laboured. Her belly is swollen but doesn't rattle and she has pooed (haven't seen her but evidence - she isn't straining to go), she eats plenty. I'm stumped??
I dressed her cord with iodine as soon as she was born and that is not swollen or hot. Her joints are not hot or stiff...
She gets no worse and no better but this is definately not normal. Any ideas or is it call the vet on Easter Sunday
