Hello, This may sound weird but has anyone ever seen or smelled what a sheep burps up? I have a triplet ewe lamb that is 3 1/2weeks old. We took her at 2 weeks because she was starting to fall behind.I haven't been able to get her to suck a bottle. I feed her with a serenge. She will only take about 5 ounces per 24hrs. She is very small.Every once in awhile she will burp up a clear water and it smells! Kind sweet yet rotten. I finally saw her eat a small pellet yesterday and a bite or two of hay. She does drink water every once in awhile now. I had trouble with her not pooping but have that solved now that she is drinking more. I have been giving her vitamin drench every other day and have given her some probiotic. Any suggestions to get her to eat more or is this plenty for her size? I appreciate everyone's help.
