As for the ewe lamb, does she have ruptured blood vessels in the whites of her eyes? also from a difficult birth, and possible cord (spinal) swelling from a prolonged birth? She might benefit from a steroid? consult your Veterinarian on that one.Since you didn't witness the labor, it may have been prolonged? <br />cheers,Brenda Lellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326272408415585516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-30835993498021008562010-03-02T09:31:00.103-06:002010-03-02T09:31:00.103-06:00You might give your weak lamb BoSe (assuming you&#...You might give your weak lamb BoSe (assuming you're in a selenium deficient area) and additional Vitamin E (just cut the end off of a gel cap and squeeze it into her mouth). You can give .5 cc/day of BoSe for about a week, with no deleterious effects. While you're right, it does sound more like an injury, and she's getting better, the BoSe and E won't hurt.<br /><br />Good luck with the impending births!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421589409738817614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738593840518763947.post-12056983031440608442010-03-02T07:17:32.019-06:002010-03-02T07:17:32.019-06:00I have a friend who has Lincolns.

I do think that she ended up getting them to except the lambs.<br /><br />I hope your lamb is ok! How is the ewe who prolapsed?<br /><br />I had a Toggenburg doe once who had a vaginal prolapse, but it was after a hard birth of tangled triplets. The vet can out and stitched her up and she was ok. (Oh that goat also got milk fever and we thought she was going to die after she would not eat for several days. She looked like a walking skeleton and had lost interest in her babies. {I milked once a day and left the kids on the doe.} One hour before she was to be put down she got up and started eating in full force-it was the weirdest thing!) Any way I ended up selling her to some friends and they sold her to a commercial dairy. She has never had a problem since and has gone to the fair and won first place and champion of her breed. So maybe there is hope for your ewe.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586123852648939448noreply@blogger.com
