First lambing

[OHewe]

First time farmer here-I have an ewe 1 week post triplets that has developed runny nose and what appears to be bloat. We’ve treated with baking soda solution, but she is still not behaving normally. Any thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Also not eating or drinking this afternoon or evening

Might need to vent gas from the stomach. I can't remember the procedure but a needle needs to be inserted behind the ribs, on the left side if I remember correctly. Someone else will know better than me, only time I tried it I failed

If you are a first time farmer you don't really have a clue so posting your few observations and expecting people to diagnose just off what you think you have seen over the internet isn't really fair. Ideally ask your vet to look at her, failing that a farmer with experience. Failing that your vet.

Have you got any milk powder ready for the triplets?

Because by the sound of it, you will need some quite soon.
