It’s the first day this lambing, that I didn’t go home in the buggy
There's definitely a run of watery mouth. Lost 2 this morning, with another very unwell. They've all had colostrum within time, too. One of a hogg's double and a strong single from a 4-tooth

Whats best for joint ill ? I have a couple lambs with it.I had no watery mouth, but lambing out I rarely do, but joint ill was a bugger though
Speak to your vet. Injectable antibiotics can fix it if started quickly enough.Whats best for joint ill ? I have a couple lambs with it.
These are still in. I'm wondering if it's warmer conditions doing it. The bedding is dry, with pens limed between couples. Devon damp in the air, though.All out and about then I guess
Wet ground conditions causing the issue?
You need to clean the pens out between each use and ideally give them time for the floor to dry. That's the only way to stop watery mouth.These are still in. I'm wondering if it's warmer conditions doing it. The bedding is dry, with pens limed between couples. Devon damp in the air, though.
Absolutely. It's been so wet, that base drying isn't happening. We've been resting pens, too, but this year is a difficult one. This is on earthen base.You need to clean the pens out between each use and ideally give them time for the floor to dry. That's the only way to stop watery mouth.
I tried it all years ago, using the excuse "I haven't got time to clean them out". Once I finally accepted that I had to make time, I solved it.

Just got Synulox (1ml/20kg every two days) and metacam (1ml/ day) from vet.Whats best for joint ill ? I have a couple lambs with it.
Have you found anything that cures it? Have been using betamox here and even if caught early it seems to come back later.I had no watery mouth, but lambing out I rarely do, but joint ill was a bugger though
Best knocking them on the head early imo, they only come back with bad joints later in the year once they have cost you.Have you found anything that cures it? Have been using betamox here and even if caught early it seems to come back later.

Is it not Synulox every day and metacam every 2 days? It would be for calvesJust got Synulox (1ml/20kg every two days) and metacam (1ml/ day) from vet.
You sure it was joint I’ll?See above post of mine.
I’ve jabbed over 40 lambs and nearly all have made a full recovery.
