I have a five week week old bottle fed lamb, which is showing signs of Sore Mouth.  She has it on her bottom lip and right side of her nose.  It seems to be spreading now (around her lip and nose area only).  She has a good appetite, is gaining weight and it "appears" not to be bothering her. This has been going on for about a week.  Is there a treatment for it?  Everything I've read says to let it run it's course, which is about four to five weeks.  But I'm afraid if it gets worse it will affect her feeding.  Also should I be treating my herd as well?  She doesn't live with them, she lives in the house, but she does interact with them for about 15 minutes every other day. To my knowledge the herd has never been infected.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.
