    New to the whole sheep farming aspect but I have a lamb which seems to be pressing/ trying to pass manure the whole time , lieing away from the rest of the flock also . There has been no change in her diet. I can't see how she could be constipated. just seeing if there is any other potential problems before i bring her up to the vet?
