2 wonky lambs unable to stand up, any ideas?

[Gary11023]

2 lambs born today, both perfectly fit and healthy but unable to stand, they seem to be unable to control the movement of their legs. they are bright and happy and attempting to stand. Anyone had this before or know a name of it, if so what should i be doing and what are the chances they will get better?
Cheers, Gary

Have you got a video? Could be swayback or just tight tendons. Might be better asking in livestock section?

Mother in law cured some with a massager, but it took time.

Sounds like swayback

Hope it isn't swayback. There'll always be lambs that just need some time and patience. If they're bright and feeding at the head end, and the tail end's functioning fully, some simple lifting to let them adjust limbs to standing, tickling/imitating the ewe's licking over the neck, back, hindquarters, front a few times a day to readjust their jumbled feedback.

Ask your Vet for a multivit jab for them, too. They could be short of B vitamins or mineral. Check the levels in the ewe's feed.
