Poor little thing!

I doubt they`d spend money amputating the extra legs even if everything else was ok though.

RIP Little Lamb

He could've lived, and I'm sure the farmers would have let it, except for the bowel not functioning properly.

Bless his heart.

He is so cute!

But sounds like euthanizing him is what has to be done.

RIP precious lamb.
