Hi, I would definitely call the vet!!! We had a similar thing happen last week with one of our wool ewes. Although she was due on Saturday Christmas, and went off food on the following Monday eve and acted dull and horrible on Tuesday. Mine had brown urine and when my hubby came home, we decided we had to go into her and check her out. We found a dead lamb stuck upside down in her. The one behind it was dead too. Luckily we were able to save the ewe. I don't want to scare you, but definitely call the vet.
Good luck, Marion --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi - I don't know if any one has any suggestions, I > don't know what to do.
