	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?
