I do not think it is any of the usual problems. This has happened to 3 hoggets and not to any older sheep or to any of the 1 yr olds that have lambed. They lambed outside and were put in immediately.

They respond very quickly to flunixin . Have any of you had a similar problem with hoggets ?. No symptoms of hypocalcemia
