lamb, 3 weeks old, didnt eat strongly last night, dead this morning.I have taken him for post morteum but all the vet could find was an inflamed large bowel.No colisdrial diseases,no pneumonia,no scouring,no cocci present on the slide.He has sent bits to the lab so will get the results mid week.any ideas in case i am doing something wrong.

You did nothing wrong - it's just sheep!

a sheep's main aim in life is to die from being born if you see a ewe/ram old you know there's a good Sheppard to be had as they done a good job keeping it alive  so nothing wrong on your part at all. are there any poisonous plants in the vicinity?

I had another lamb going the same last night so I gave her some amoxypen and a squirt of spectrum.shes still here this morning so I am going to give her some more antibiotics.The tests should be back Tuesday.
no poisoness plants but I am going to move them this afternoon.I only have 11 lambs so dont want any losses really.

interested to hear the results

first results back, no worm eggs present at all and no cocci eggs present either so they are now culturing some swabs.
