I just noticed today that my ewe who had twins last month has tiny pinprick red dots on her udder.
Just the front part near her belly. The back of her udder is fine. The red spots aren't raised, or HUGE.
Just little reddish/dark pink colored spots.
Like someone took a red marker to her udder and dotted it a bit.
I assume the lambs are nursing, because they are full of spunk.
MaryEllen doesn't seem uncomfortable at all.

Could it be tiny broken blood vessels from a month-ravaged udder?
The lambs are just starting to get aggressive with their nursing.

Or is it something else?

Could you post a pic? Could well be nothing to worry about at all.
