One of the lambs got itself stuck in the wire having t poked her head through one hole, couldnt reverse out and was found after ? several hours with her head out htorugh one holenad back through the next one - ie head at 180 degrees to body. This is normal degree of movemnt in sheeps' necks.
But this poor lamb is holding its head in this position, and there is a lot of soft tissue swelling - we assume it was struggling a lot to try and get out .
heres the affected lamb ( at the back ) , with her sibling
there is nothing to feel and its possible to move the head back into the normal position without ( seemingly ) causing any distress
A bit wobbly walking
and veers off from time to time
Nothing to do other than wait and see if it gets better. Damaged nerves (at least in people ) can take many weeks to recover.
