    Has she a good appetite, she might be sick. some get an infection after lambing,
    Have you a thermometer, Take her temperature, should be 39.9 degrees centigrade

    I'll check the temp, bu I reckon she's ok, she's eating nuts and grazing

    Doesn't look great for her so, surprising when she had milk at the start.
