Did you make sure the placenta in it’s entirety was passed?

I found pieces. Tried to look for it but couldn’t find. Also a large pasture with a bunch of woods so not sure where she actually had them.

Ugh so you can’t be sure she didn’t retain some placenta. I’d keep a close eye on her and call the vet if she seems to be worsening at all. In the meantime would you like me to reach out to some farming friends for more specific advice? Unfortunately I know people who’ve raised goats and cows and not sheep. I’d try a sheep specific message board. Have any neighbors raising sheep you could ask?

Do you have her separate from the flock and under watch at least?

Yes she’s under close watch. Been out with her every few hours.

Do you think it’s lambing sickness or milk fever?
