Help! I have a lamb about 8 weeks old. She quit eating last Thursday. I
started putting mineral oil in small amounts down her nothing. Finally
Wednesday we gave her an enema. a small amount came out. But she still won't
eat or suck anything. I am forcing milk the last 2 days at 3 1/2 ounces 4 or
4 times a day. She doesn't really act ill. She stretches a fair amount. But
no stool or urine that I have seen. She isn't bloating. Any suggestions? She
is a wool sheep . The previous owner docked her tail really high. But no
problems with that before now. Thanks allot. Nancy
