Re: [Blackbelly] Death of a spring lamb

Sounds like a broken neck.  I have had this in 2 ewes.  They get to 
fighting and get a spinal chord injury.

Re: [Blackbelly] Death of a spring lamb

If he was a big healthy lamb several mos old especially if grain fed may have 
been overeating disease also known as Clostridium perfringens type D. It's a 
bacterial infection. Can have your vet do a postmortem and then may want to 
start vaccinating for it. Or grain less heavily.

Trisha,

How awful!  Could he have been poisoned??  I really don't have any good 
ideas.  Let us know if you figure this one out.
