    Found a hog get ewe unable to get up yesterday in field. She is in lamb with a single. They are on grass and hay st moment in good sheltered field.

    Not twin lamb disease as she is in good condition, but falls over when lifted up. All other sheep are fine. Doesn't appear physically hurt.

    Ideas?

    The fact that she fat could be the reason she is down they get ketosis (twin lamb) she breakes down fat reserves too quick and goes down....maybe she is a twin scanned wrong
