|  | not going to happen. He is prolapsing beacuse you are feeding to hard, cough, gentics, ect. He is full of feed. how much feed, how big of lamb, how much hay you feeding? all things that contribute to gian, prolaspe issues .

| | Is it only coming out when he coughs or is it staying out?

| | this is a cough probble, and she is geting 32oz{i'm just doing math in oz okay?} of "Show chow" and 8oz of barley and 4oz in morning and night. And this lamb is small framed, and adout a half of alafal hay... so thats what my lamb is.

|  | The prolapse can be repaired with iodine injections, but there's no humane, safe way to get 7 pounds on one it two days.

|  | Crystal the Iodine of LA200 injections would be a good strategy for a week from now, but two days might still be a problem. I think BigI hit it on the head. It is sad and bad luck, but I would not count on showing that lamb at that show.

|  | If the show is not terminal you can squirt LA200 into the rectum, or do this when it is prolasping on the exposed material. Your not injecting it, your just coating the rectum. It's an irritant and will usually keep a modest prolaspe in for a few hours.
7 lbs in 2 days isn't feasible in real weight gain. Best you can hope to do is weigh the lamb full of water, full of feed and hope when you weighed last time it it was empty.

| | A gallon of water weighs about 8.35lbs if my memory is not failing. so if you feed 4lbs a feed and get half gallon in him that is 8lbs.
