Lamb not able to stand.

farming93 · 2020-01-17 08:42:07

I have a lamb which was growing powerfully however I went out to it last night and it has lost the use of its back legs. When I lift it it can stand but is very fragile and can't walk. I don't think it's swayback or joint ill. Anyone any ideas?

Id go to vet asap. Could be an abscess in its spine. Vet treated two of mine last year. He said they will do no good if they dont get back up within 3 days. one made it and one didnt.

Ended up putting him down. Turned out to be swayback. Pity he was a lovely lamb.
