I have a molly lamb on the bottle and have noticed he’s got two or three hardened/scabby spots above his top lip. He’s the only molly I have so he hasn’t shared bottles, but I thought where he is a vigorous sucker maybe he’s made it sore. However I’ve noticed another lamb with the same type of scab, although more prolific around his mouth. He is with his Mum and sister, can’t see his sister is affected.
They’re in grass pasture and there’s no stubble.
This is my first time lambing so looking for advice. I have read about orf but not sure if this is what this is, or how they would have got it. We run a closed flock. There aren’t any lesions or open sores and the affected area isn’t wet, or oozy.
Appreciate a photo would help, which I’ll try and upload tomorrow.
