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.

I really don't have any good ideas. Let us know if you figure this one out. Beth in OR I recently came home to find an otherwise healthy looking spring ram laying on its stomach trying to flip itself over. I tried to pick it up and it was discovered that none of his legs worked. They were not stiff and there was no sign of injury. He was dead an hour later. Please help. _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info _______________________________________________ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
