Regarding the oozy lumps, if may be "sore mouth" aka "orf." You can learn more about orf at the Maryland Small Ruminant page at http://www.sheepandgoat.com/skin.html. In addition, you can search the Blackbelly listserv archives for recent discussions about what to do if you have orf in your flock (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
Regarding the weepy eye, have a look at the items listed under Entropion (inverted eyelids) on the Maryland Small Ruminant page at http://www.sheepandgoat.com/lambkiddiseases.html#entropion
Hope this helps. Let us know what happens.

The new baby girl, born May 8, has some blistery, zitty looking spots under her tail & around her 'butt'. :-( They look mighty fugly... some are just small red lumps & others look to be yellowy puss filled zit-like lumps.
In addition, she has very weeeepy eyes. Makes me think that her lower eyelid is turned under so that hair is rubbing the eye? I've washed her eyes out & she seems a bit less weepy... but it only seems to last so long & the weeping is back.
