Hi Cecil,
How old is your lamb?
If he is beyond 30 days old he might have eaten too much of the pellets. I
have never had a problem with oat hay and oats.
I have had a lamb that grew so fast he became deficient in selenium/vitamin
E. He was the biggest prettiest lamb out of 100+ lambs. He could not walk
and was bloated from laying down on his side. We gave him a BO-SE injection
and he was back to normal in 24 hours. We did a repeat shot of BO-SE to be
safe 30 days later. This lamb turned out to be one incredible sire. I know
you have had a bad experience with BO-SE before but it does not sound like
you have much to lose to try it this time.
You are already giving anti-biotics, surfactants, and electrolytes. The
only other suggestion I have is to keep the lamb upright. You might want to
make a sling and hang him next to a wall so his feet are beneath him proper.
Or just fold his legs (if they will bend) under him and put him up against a
wall. Just do not let him lie on his side.
I am assuming the lamb is not plugged up. Make sure there is no blockage
requiring an enema.
Hope he makes it Cecil. I know you have skills but not all of them live.
Good luck,
Mark Wintermute
It appears to be tetanus /enterotoxemia.
any opinions would be welcome
