Is is not pneumonia that has spread to the outer layers of the lungs? Are your lambs vaccinated? This damp and warm weather is ideal conditions for pneumonia.

Having taken landroverroys advice I googled it and found an article which says that one possible cause is drench getting into the lungs. This would explain it as i (rather Collette) had drenched them earlier, but the lamb still had worms......
