I haven't had that exact problem but have had weak lambs with very stiff joints that wouldn't want to try to stand. We would work with them, moving the joints slowly until they would get full range of motion and also massaging the muscles of the back, hips and thighs and helping them stand up and walk until they got the stiffness out. We had one lamb we had to do this several times over a 2 day period, but he eventually got out of it and did fine. I didn't notice any softness of his head, though - probably not the exact same problem.
