ive had about 4 lambs that have all been born as doubles pining away....the other lamb on the ewes have been thriving and are fat but the other is going backwards....the ewe has not got mastitis, and has milk to spare...I’ve removed both lambs from the ewe over night, put them back with the ewe and the fat one went straight to suck but the poor one wasn’t bothered.....he won’t suck a bottle either....their coats seem dull too....never had this trouble before....is it cobalt deficiency? Would that be seen in such young lambs? Lambs will be less than 3 weeks old
