Had a ram lamb born two days ago, very week and small, first time mom.
Weighs approx. 4 lbs, no fat at all.
How much milk replacer should I been giving him and how many times per
day. I had to tube him to get him going since
he was eating very little by bottle. The vet gave him some vita. shots,
antibiotic shot. Even though I tube him with 1 oz of milk
he mouth continually is cold but his body feels warm. I think the
problem is he has no fat at all. Should I supplement him
with the milk to add fat. I don't want to over feed him. I have him on
a heating pad with towels on top.
