It’s just swollen, with the head being out etc I bet it’s been clamped. It will go down. Seen them with heads like a foot ball, ewes swollen shut, tongue so swollen you’ve got to hold mouth open and it down or they choke. But they all come good by next day.

Teeth that size at just a day or 2 old


The lamb is just teething. Keep an eye on it, but should be fine

I have just looked at the twin, (forgot phone so no pic) but teeth are roughly the same size, (I do think they look big for 2 days,) but definitely not red. Pen + Strep is our friend
