What's up with this lamb

[MJT]

Have a pedigree ram lamb that's started throwing cud and dribbling from one side of its mouth, aswell as having his ear down on that side . Have had vet out , Can't feel any lumps in his mouth or doesn't look to have anything stuck in teeth at back but he certainly isn't right ! Any thoughts on what it could be ?

Bolusing or dosing injury?

Bolusing or dosing injury?

I've got a few lambs like that this year and I can't work it out. No injuries, no lumps, teeth are fine.
Some are a bit poor and some are doing well. We were thinking maybe a form of acidosis from the grass?

Is he cutting his front teeth? Unlikely but a tup I sold someone died from Listeria with no silage fed. Their vet said it got in from the soil where he was cutting his teeth.

Has he been dipped?
I would say mites in his ear, and he has been rubbing that side and got an infection, the front of that ear pocket looks to be swelling, is he head shaking too?

Tooth infection

No head shaking, dipped 6 weeks ago , literally happened overnight, but doesn't look to be getting worse fast like listeria.
