hello, big problem, can you help?
We have 7 years lambing experience, including difficult births, badly presented lambs etc, so we know what to expect. Anyway.... Ewe scanned for twins, 1st lamb came out quickly and easily and is healthy. Second water bag came out after an hour, but no sign of a lamb followed it. The ewe was obviously expecting another one. We can't feel another lamb in there. No chance of a vet for a few hours at least, by which time we might have lost her if there is a dead lamb in there somewhere. Could the scanner and the ewe both be mistaken? Seems unlikely. She has given up trying for the moment, and wants her dinner. Any thoughts.
A bit later ... Second lot of after birth has now appeared. Ewe looks a bit miserable, but not poorly. Maybe she's just exhausted. I think we will have to wait for the vet and hope for the best.
