Lambs going off their legs.

[Devil's advocate]

I had one & it was a quad, so short of real colustrum.

Responded well to treatment but a slightly bent knee joint.

I’ve got one (just to join the club!) 4 weeks old, had its first hep p jab and cocci drench on Wednesday. Thursday morning found him in the field with no strength in any of his legs. Bought him in and gave abs. Taking the bottle ok but still not trying to stand. Every other lamb is fine.

I would try some anti-inflammatory as well.

No, tried everything last year but there was no getting them back up. Still nothing like it this year.
