What lovely little lambs. I really like the black baby with the spots on it's face.

We have the vet on her way over here. One of our ewes has been in labor since around 10 am. She doesn't have a water bag, but she has been pushing. I checked her and she doesn't seem to be dilated at all. I may be over-reacting (I hope that I am), but, given that this ewe had an 18 lb lamb last year as a 1st timer and she started prolapsing 10 days ago AND she is on of Lyd's favorite nice ewes, better safe than sorry. :/

Everything went ok, but not great. The mom is doing as well as can be expected. She jumped right up as soon as we were done. Unfortunately, the lamb was born with serious facial deformities and passed away shortly after birth.
I have pictures of the lamb, but I don't want to offend anyone. I can PM them if anyone wants to see.

The poor mamma sheep looks so sore! She doesn't want to lay down. She did eat and drink though, in fact, when Lyd was graining the rest of the sheep, I had to stay in the pen and hold her because she was trying to bust out!
I've decided to post the pictures of the lamb here, but I'm going to do it in a way that if someone is bothered by this kind of thing they don't have to look at them. Clicking on the link will take you to the photo on my Flickr account.

Aww that's sad, and things were going so well. I kind of want to look at the pics, but am afraid to, so I won't. I would be horrified if one of my lambs had some kind of deformity. Thanks for posting the link instead of the actual picture. 
Hope the ewe recovers okay.

I'm so sorry 
I was glad to see the photos should I have one that doesn't look quite right...it is a good reference. Wonder what caused that?

Wow, I can see that the baby was pretty seriously involved. It almost looks like the human version of cleft palate. Looks like "one of those things". Does the vet have any idea of the source of the defects?
