    some help or advise please.on monday i vacinated my horned ewes 2cc heptavac p + and wormed them also. this morning one never came to feed so i found her in bushes, very weak unable to stand, i put her in quad and put her in shed and gave her antibiotic.any one any ideas as to what it might be, her breathing is laboured a small bit. but she seems to be getting a little stronger, but still no power in the legs,maybe pregnancy toxicema, or the stress from handling, up until this monday she was 100%. or would lamb/or lambs be dead. body score is good and no drastic changes in diet or anything. as its my first ever lambing season i dont want to be jumping the gun every 2 minutes and annoying people that are busy as it is with there own flocks.thanks

    Sounds like twin lamb disease, there's another recent thread on twin lamb disease with good advice in it, take a look at it for info also keep giving her antibiotics for a few days in case the lambs have died as this may prevent infection you will know shortly if the lambs have died its a smell once smelt never forgotton,
