Update which might rule out joint illness: when the lamb lays down, it perfectly bends all it joints and curls up like any other lamb. Yesterday our vet had a look again and checked the joints and said that all was fully movable and no sign for stiffness in the joints, only one knee joint had maybe a little liquid in it if at all, but that`s no explanation for how it is.
Our daughter also found out that when this pet lamb gets a cuddle and a massage of the back muscles, it totally relaxes and becomes totally floppy, the opposite to what it looks when it walks.
Does this make any sense ?? Not to us so far ....

Could it be, that there are issues with the stomach in this case ??
It is noticable, that this pet-lamb is not keen after the bottle. It drinks when we grab him and give him the bottle, but after he feels obviously not better, coughes sometimes too.
Is it possible that he does not move his back legs and does not like to drink, because there is pain in his stomach then ??
