[blackbelly] Lamb Loss

[Stephanie Jones]

Can anyone advice me as to the symptoms of starvation in lambs, other than the bleeting.  I've lost twin lambs at 6 weeks old.  I'm not real sure of the cause.  I feel that the mom may not have been producung enough milk.  OR, i'm slightly worried about white muscle disease.  Weakness in the hind quarters, staggery...........but, it could be from just plain ole' hunger.  Although they were eating some hay and cracked corn.  they have died 3 days apart.  HELP!!   Stephanie
