She didn't make it. 
Turns out it most probably wasn't twin lamb disease after all. More likely a tumour or obstruction or something else internal.

She didn't really respond to the glucose drenching and syringe feeding (or ABs or vitamins or calcium). The abortion wasn't happening either 40 hours later. She was still alert, even licking my face but very weak and getting bloated. Agreed to take her to the vet for last ditch examination and possible cesarean. I left her for 20 minutes to get the car ready for the trip, when I got back to her she was convulsing and choking violently, fluids coming out her front and back.
Vet is only 10 mins away... the longest 10 minutes ever. She tried to relieve the bloat as a first measure but there was only fluid coming out which shouldn't have been there, and vet concluded there was something very wrong inside, nothing to do with pregnancy or infection.
It was only kind to put her to sleep there and then. I'm berating myself that I could have spared her that last day of suffering.

Devastated. RIP little Bee.

  I have treated circa 100 sheep with listeria over about 35yrs  (  only about 10 survived mostly hoggs  ) and in all but 1 silage was the cause , this 1 died in the summer and I suspected louping ill so did a pm came back listeriosis ,  in all cases the main feature was balance on one side this is why its called circling disease               :bouquet:sorry

I bet you're devastated... so sorry to read what you've been through.... I think many of us read these threads, and when the ending is so sad we just all freeze up a little inside, knowing how wretched it'd be if it was happening to us, and one of our flock...
You mustn't beat yourself up over this... we can't know what's going on inside them (for heaven's sake you got the vet out right at the start....).. and how can you not try everything to give a beloved a chance...
I really hope that you have a happy and successful lambing ahead of you, and then you can be entranced by the joys of things going right!

So sorry to hear about your loss. You tried your very best for your girl.

Hey. So sorry. You did all you could ,  and, from my limited knowledge, all you should. I am reading  all  these posts and learning  what I can before I embark on actually being responsible for any sheep. You did what I would hope to do; spotted the problem and got proper help from the vet. You clearly were also very caring.

Awwwww am so sorry to hear about that. I myself have had a fair share of problems with sheep and it is not nice at all. You clearly cared for her to the best of your ability and that is the most important thing. Dont beat yourself up about it you did the best you could and if you beat yourself up about it, it doesnt do you any good. These things happen and we have to deal with them as they come along as best we can. I hope the rest of lambing is a success, which i am sure it will be all the best with everything and when you do start lambing could you post some pics, we definately need the cutest lamb competition.
