I need some advice on what could possibly be going on with my lamb.  She is a three month old orphan lamb. I got her one month ago. When I got her she was weaned and a little small for her age but I put her with another lamb I had and she perked up, ate very well and started acting like my other lambs. She's been fine for about three weeks. About a week ago I noticed she was acting sluggish and had diahirrea.  My vet gave me Albon (5cc for four days) and once she started the Albon she started to act like her old self again.  We finished her Albon and yesterday morning she woke up and was fine, running around the pasture, prancing to the side, she acted great. But around 6:00 p.m. her mood changed. She quit eating and went and laid down in her manger. I thought she was just tired, but she started acting very strange.  She would get up and stretch and lay back down. This went on for hours. She would stand and stare at the walls of her manger.  I got her to drink water. I gave her Terramician and Vi-tal, which she drank right up but it was probably three hours before she started acting like her old self again.  This morning, the same thing. She caming running out of her pin, hopping, jumping to the side, running and eating. And around noon the same thing happened. It's almost 3:00 p.m. now and she's still in her manger getting up and stretching and laying back down. She's not interacting with the other lambs and I'm having to force her to drink water.  None of my other lambs have ever done this. She doesn't have diahireea anymore.  Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong with her or would I could do for her?  I would appreciate any advice you could give me. You all have always been so helpful and I really thank you.
