Re: [blackbelly] Help...weak lamb

[Britt]

I hope this won't be a trend for me also. If he survives I'll definately 
have to get him fixed. I've been keeping him inside since yesterday and you 
would think he was bottle fed. He follows me around when he's strong enough 
to walk and seems to enjoy my company. He has his own room with a constant 
supply of hay, grain, and water. I noticed that his stool was clumped 
together and mushy. What does that mean? 

Thanks,
Britt

 Britt,
 I wish I could be of some help to you, I feel for you!  But, I am
 waiting to see what this group of smart folks say, as I seem to lose
 many lambs between the ages of 3-6 months.  We've researched all of the
 possible problems that we are aware of, to no luck.  For lack of any
 other answer, we think we have some kind of a deficiency in our ground,
 or that we need to be immunizing against some unknown. Therefore, only
 the strongest of the lambs survive.  We have out mineral tubs, hay,
 pasture, and grain them daily.  Yet, we still loose some for no apparent
 reason.  They appear healthy one day, found dead in the lot the next
 day.  I hope I'm not discouraging you, I don't mean too.  I'm just
 hoping that we both may learn something!  :)  Good luck!!  ;)
 Stephanie

 Not sure what happened but my 6 month old ram lamb has just all of the
 sudden become very weak.

If he is a good looking ram lamb don't be in a hurry to fix him.  He might
be just lonely.  And not all rams grow up to be mean.  Some do, some don't
but if he does turn mean he'll taste the same! :)  As long as food is going
in and poop is coming out he has a good chance of living!  Keep up the good
work.
