its not jointill


We did have a lamb with a limp . And it got a course of antibiotics and got a bit better.  But then it got worse.
And its not limping - its  tripping over its front legs as they give way . The lamb  hasnt got a temperature  and the joints arent swollen so we dont think its anopther episode of infection.
 It could be White muscle disease Due to selenium deficiency . 

this lamb ticks many of the boxes for Selenium deficiency


So its had an injection of Selenium an Vitamin E . It may improve, or it may not . We shall see
