Chris:
Sounds like you definitely have a lamb left there.  There is a shot you can 
give to cause labor pains. I do not know what the name is, but it is the same 
for cattle.  Your vet should have it.  This should enlarge the cervix, if not 
there are some drugs that will relax the cervix.  Again, your vet should be 
able to help.  If not, find another vet sympathetic to sheep.  A lot of times a 
small animal vet will be more help than a large with sheep.  You need to act 
fast, as toxins are building and she will not last long.   Try an emergency vet 
clinic if possib le. 

If you can get her cervix relaxed, you will have to reach in there and get 
the lamb.  You will have to know a little anatomy by feel, and it helps to have 
small hands.
