Sorry for your loss. What is the temperature of the lamb? Any scours? Do
you hear raspy breathing? Did the lambs receive enough colostrum (first
milk)? Were the mother ewes properly vaccinated? Need more information on
symptoms. You might want some injectable antibiotics on hand, depending on
symptoms. I always consult a vet if it is something I am not familiar
with, but then I live 20 miles from a vet school and the area is crawling
with vets! Paradise..
