My 12 day old ram lamb is ill. He is one of twins, both were very
small, 4.5 and 4.25 at birth. He was the 4.25lb one. Both are
growing. He has a type 4 SUED and showed signs of a conjunctivitis
which I treated with antibiotic eye drops and it cleared up.
Yesterday I noticed that he had a crusty nose so decided to watch
him. This AM he was coughing so I took his temp, 105. I plan to
call the vet later (it's 5:30) but thought I would also put out a
query here. His sister seems fine. Yesterday he was gamboling
around, this morning he does seem a little slower. Whatever it is, I
am also concerned about infecting the rest of the flock. He is
freezer material anyway.
Thoughts?
