Is it showing a bloated belly? Drooling at all?
Has it passed water and healthy looking dung?
Sorry to hear this, is he ok nowGot one here. First day he would drown himself as if he couldn't swallow.Second day he sucked about 1/8 of a bottle,walked round in a circle and went down. Stopped breathing and eyes were dead( not blinking when touched ) so I assumed it was dead. Chucked him out onto some straw ready to put in a bag while I fed another,saw something moving out of the corner of my eye and he was walking round! Then realised he's gone blind. He didn't breathe for about two minutes so maybe brain damage

Bless you,, thank you so much for your advice, i shall try the olive oil, poor little lad has had a real rough time of it since he was born, his mum rejected him after day 2 ?, tried to persevere with her but she kept butting him away,, now hes got this,,Yes, watery mouth can do that. It can be toxins from the infection causing what can look like a delirium, iirc, but it's also colic inducing, which can be a more usual factor in the behaviour, ime.
Poor thing. He has an appetite, which is good, but it can be tricky not to overfeed if he's keen - especially if he's taking in air with his feed.
I have given about 5mls of olive oil as a drench (drawn into syringe, and dosed) to help move on any blockages and help sooth cramps. It won't harm to try that.
Did the vet give an anti-inflammatory?

Ah really?, why would vet not tell me to use that i wonder?If it’s watery mouth he needs to come off milk and onto an electrolyte based drench (rehydion, life aid) as the milk will feed the e-coli bacteria in his tummy.
The vet did check his mouth and throat, all seemed to be ok, his temperature was ok too,Poor thing. Do you know if he had enough colostrum?
It's difficult to say without seeing, but he could be short of vitamin B complex, or, he could have an abnormality in the mouth or throat. Had one this year that had the later, and couldn't be let go on.

Yes im pretty confident he had his colostrum in the first 2 days,, his mum just turned on him for no reason??
Ooops sorry, you can see im new on here lolAh, um, you've accidentally quoted my reply to the other poster.
Easily done

Yes the vet gave him pain killers, anti inflammatory and anti biotics,,
Have you tried warm soapy enema to get the other end moving( on the lamb ?). It's the first thing I do with any watery mouth case. Glucose and water instead of milk with 1 ml of betamox in itReally? Why didnt my vet tell me to use that ?after he said its Watery Mouth
Bless him, how old is he?Giving antibiotics and antiinflammatories but still blind
