So I had a few bottle lambs dropped off at my place, and everyone seems very healthy and happy...except one.
It is a ram lamb, 1 week old. They are not sure what is wrong with him and were hoping id give him a chance to live but this little guy stumps me
He is obviously blind in at least one eye, i think he can see at least shadows with the other.
He can walk around and is curious as any other lamb and is active
he drinks very well once you get him attached to the bottle but he struggles and kicks and you need to basically hold him down to get the bottle to his mouth. He cannot find the nipple on his own, but will fling his head about trying to suck on anything that he can get in his mouth.
It seems when he is excited he loses control of his movement. His legs go out, he stumbles backwards onto his bum and he shakes his head like crazy. Its like he is having little "fits"
I want to give him a chance to live since he is a very good eater (with assistance)
Any ideas if this is a disease? Or maybe he was just born like this?
His parents were vaccinated with an 8-way and wormed regularly. I do not know what the quality of food or minerals were like how ever
