Thanks everyone. I am having so much fun with them. The bottle fed babies are so spoiled. They follow me around EVERYWHERE. I was tempted to buy them some diapers and let them sleep inside the house. :gig But I didn't want to separate them THAT much for the others. The know what time I...

It looks like I will be bottle feeding 2 lamb. The one that was born day after yesterday has just been walking around and I have not noticed it trying to suck on the mom. I can't say that the mom is rejecting it because she's not. The baby for some reason was not trying to find the mom to suck...
Thank you for your input. Yes, they have been busy ever year and I would like to give their bodies a rest.
I will try to take pics of them this weekend and post. I noticed that when I went out yesterday to bottle feed, one of the rams tried to test me by "gently" nudging his head up against...

Thanks.
He is just as sweet as can be. And she doesn't even mind me coming in and bottle feeding. In fact, she will walk and stand near me and smell the bottle and just stand there until the baby is done sucking. Then they walk away and go play. :idunno
I have 3 more mamas to give birth...
I wanted to post this so that everyone can be aware of this. I shared my situation about my ewe in a yahoo group and someone shared this information with me. This is scary. My ewe is a little better but still not herself. Perhaps my girl could be suffering with this...
Thanks for the info Penny Hen. Sorry to hear about your sheep. I wasn't aware about the emergency kit that you talked about. Wow. So much to know and learn.
I have been researching this morning on a exact amount of charcoal to give and amount of water to give. I was not able to find anything however, I was able to find dosage instructions for humans. So, I called my regular vet to see what he suggests. Well, when I called and told the...
