    Premature lambs here are hard work with a poor survival rate, You'd need to know the service date too

    Would a vet do a c section if they taught the lambs inside were dead for a week?

    I would try inducing over a section, but inducing usually only successful if the ewe is within a week / (10days at a push) of lambing anyway, but it can often save a ewe.
