Free orphan lamb,there is a catch its a bit wonky,its front legs are bent through I think not having enough space in the womb due to being a triplet.Its bright and drinking from a bottle with enthusiasum.Comes with a weeks worth of milk powder and some lambs pellets.
I m not sure how mobile it will get ,at present it can stand and walk about,albeit very slowly

I've got a wonky one too. Was walking on fetlock joints until I splinted them and after 2 days they were fine. Knees are still crooked though but she's a fighter and feeding well. Hopefully as she gets heavier and bigger then knees will straighten a bit.


Good luck with re-homing

Bones are still soft. Splints will work
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
