Any ideas

[BAF]

I've got 2 tup lambs that are off their legs this morning. They're reluctant to stand then when you get then up they almost stagger backwards and they're flagging their tails then they'll either walk off or lie back down. They're bright enough in themselves but obviously not right. They're 2 big strong lambs 2/3weeks old. Had plenty of colostrum. They're out at grass with the ewes getting a little bit of corn just to keep them coming to me so I can check the lambs. Ewes aren't heptavac'd but we haven't for the past 5 years or so.
Going to give the bet a ring later on but thought it'd be worth asking the audience first whilst I wait for them to open.

I would think you will have to vaccinate with a covexin or bravoxin (please excuse the spelling)

Swayback?

Joint ill?

Do they look as if they have gone weak behind shoulders and sort of slump down, are they growing like weeds and of a muscular variety, if yes then selenium deficiency.

Well whatever it is it seems to have passed off! They're both right as rain now. I've rung the vet and I'll get them tested for selenium deficiency. Bloody sheep!
