Lamb circling

[UpAndUnder]

Got a lamb which has spent last two hours chasing its tail around and around! It's about a month old and been on good grass! Still sharp in its head but bleating so obviously in a bit of
Distress, treated with alamycin and B12 injection! Any ideas?

Gidd or daft lamb syndrome?
I've got 1 which doesn't move much and just stands their vacant grinding it's back teeth :/ gave it betamox 2 days ago, probably a shoot job but Wishfully thinking it might recover!

Once you've committed a few quids worth of meds and your emotional attention to it over several days wasting precious time on it and just as you convince yourself it's turned a corner and is looking like getting a bit better.... it'll die!

not always ,we had a lamb about a month ago had some kind of fit or something lay on its side for 3 days kicking its legs and eyes glazed, jabed it with everything i had and we tubed it twice a day and thought it was a dead loss although its mum stopped in the shed with it all the time went to check on it on the 4th day to see if it had died,to us surprise it was in the field with its mum sucking but looking a bit wobbly and after a few days it was back to normal

Yeah I was being a bit tongue in cheek, sure some get through it and it's a great feeling when they do!
It's usually the biggest, strongest, fittest lamb that has caught your eye as it a real corker that you find dead for absolutely no reason at all.

The ewes are on hepto but only the retained ewe lambs get put onto it, actually I've put them onto covexin 8, I aim to have all other lambs gone before it's an issue, sold store in August last year so they weren't a problem but I didn't get the ewe lambs jabbed in time and lost 2 on the same day! d'oh!
