I'm so sorry you and your ewe are having to go through this trauma. I really hope she can get on her feet now that the lambs are delivered. Can she nurse or are you having to bottle feed?

Thanks for keeping us updated. :hugs

ok you will never believe what happened today..came home during work day to feed baby and check on mommy and as I was checking her girls parts to make sure she had stopped bleeding guess what I saw???? A pair of hooves ??? Yes I helped her deliver her third baby!!!! Called the vet and he is not sure how he missed it!?! A little ram lamb who I am working hard to save. Mom started eating and cleaning the lamb but still unable to get up. When my husband gets home we will lift her up and put her on a bale to get some blood circulation to the legs. I have been moving them to try and keep them mobile. Now we have two bottle babies due to mom not having enough milk. Ewe lamb is just now starting to try and stand up but she is very vocal. Just worried about mom rupturing sutures to uterus by pushing third lamb and after birth out..guess we will see. Guess we will see. I did tube ram lamb twice hopefully we will see some life from him soon..what a day!

:ep Oh MAN! That is the most outrageous thing I've ever heard! I am hoping the little guy makes it, and please, please let the ewe be okay :fl You just must have been totally freaking out!!!! Wow you really have your hands full. Wish I was there to help somehow. Can't see how the vet could have missed that?/???
