Triplet lamb knobbly knees?

[sjewart]

Triplets born today but one lamb seems a bit bent legged, knobbly knees. They are only a few hours old but it's a good lamb.

I'm not thinking it's joint ill or anything as I noticed it the minute it found its feet. It's not too bad. Has it just been cramped in womb? Does it need anything to sort it out? Splints? Jags? Physio?

Its the yellow coloured lamb.

Probably just cramped in womb. I get a few with turned over feet.

Normally come right in a few days. I do try and stretch the joints gently a few times a day.

I did wonder if that was the case and probable cure. Thank you. I shall gently stretch as you suggest. Its not too bad but noticeable to me anyway.

I take it for my lamb I just need to stretch the knee the other way.

I’ve always get the odd one. I’ve never done anything about them other than keep them nearby a day or two longer as they exercise themselves. I only recall one not coming right on their own, but if playing with them makes you feel more proactive then go for it.?

Lol no iv better things to do with my time than play unnecessarily with lambs [emoji23]. Good to know it comes right in a day or two. Happy to keep an eye on her in my shed closest the house [emoji106]
