Thanks for all the responses. I have basically done what was suggested. I was unable to get the colostrum in time to get the lambs within the first 24 hours after birth.
One of the lambs is doing great. Gaining weight jumbing and doing all the things a young lamb should do.
The other is only laying around and still weak at the knees. Does not suckle hardly at all. Also seems to grind its teeth.
I will call a vet and see if there are ant additives I can put in the lamb, milk replacer.
Seems to me this little rascal need more vitamins or something to get it kick-started.
I have the ewe and both lambs separated from the herd, in a covered pin.
Any suggestions.
Thanks again
