Re: [Blackbelly] Bent legged lamb update~

Jules,
I watched your video.  Your little ewe lamb looks like more than a selenium 
fix.  She looks like she had a spinal injury or has some congenital birth 
defect.  I am not a vet, but just my opinion.  I know how much you care for 
her, but I would have a vet look at her.  If she was stepped on at birth, 
maybe some inflammation, that may take awhile to subside, who knows. But may 
never be able to walk right.  I really hate to even write this to you, as I 
don't want you to give up hope for her walking. But I think that you need to 
prepare yourself.

I once had a lamb that way about a week or so old that go hit orsomething . 
It couldn't walk but if i put him up he could stand.. I bottle fed him for 
several weeks finally he got where he could get himself up and then stand. 
Finally to walk a step. He is now a year old. We call him cinnamon. He is a 
4 horn blackbelly. But on the other hand a couple years ago I had a  lamb 
that was small and never could walk even after about 2 weeks so my husband 
put him down. Good luck with your lalmb. Nancy
