Should of said has had ivermectin drench this morning 12.5 ml

how old and what condition was it before the drench. Did it need worming?

Sounds not good. I have saved all my pet lambs this year by ad-lib feeding always keep them seperate until 4m old. I didnt Hptavac them as we dont tend to do this here. However if this lamb has weakness or picked up illness younger this is the issue. Could be the usual pneumonia type illness?

any chance the drench guns hurt the back of the throat...if they chew on the drench gun it can get vicsious sharp edges and then you need to buy a new one.

Drench gun good, the lamb was in real good condition prior to this .

Could quite likely be Pasteurellosis, weather has changed ....colder nights , and days from what it was, the stress of that can bring it on this time of year or in the last few weeks.
Has it been vaccinated? Aamoi...
