Hello, We had an experience last night that I thought I would share. We have had over 400 babies born since we started raising sheep and never before has this happened. I saw a jacob new born. but couldn't see its face because momma was afraid and taking it away. About 3 hours later after dark Tom went out to check on it. Its lower jaw was swollen looking like a severe case of bottle jaw. We brought her in and about 6 hours later it went down. Called the vet after it reappears shortly the next morning. He said it was from a hard birth & that the pelvic area probably didn't open good or she was just a large lamb. So if this happens to some one now you will know what to expect. Its not worms! at that young age of just hours.
