Hi lads, had a ewe lamb twins this morning, first one came out fine, but the second one had both legs tucked back and had to be pulled out, the lamb was already dead when born but she was very wobbly and jelly like, does anyone know what would cause this

Sound very like Toxo, I always get it with one lamb dead/mumified and one perfectly healthy.

Be a good idea to seal the lamb and cleanings in a bag and bring it to get tested in case its enzootic abortion.
