Hi
We have the last few of our pet lambs still on milk (8 weeks old) and one milk feed per day with pellets and hay ad lib. I found a lamb this morning struggling to get up and on it's back. I had to help it up and it is very unsteady on its legs and flops down, stretching it head up the sides of the pen. Does seem to be a bit warm and in all other respects is reasonably alert. Also has a very hunched neck when he does stand. He is not overweight nor is he thin, but like all the remaining pet lambs still on milk, (just 17 left) he is on the small side for his age.
Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? Until this morning he had been absolutely fit and well.....
