I didn't realize it could exhibit so early. Was I correct in that it does get progressively worse? and doesn't get better?

I have seen it in lambs of about four months of age, but a breeder I know has seen it as early as a few days old.It usually occurs when the horn set starts to develop more and puts pressure on the brain stem.

Fred Horak is the one to talk to. I believe that OCD is progressive and doesn't usually show up so early, but I might be misremembering.

Can anyone direct me on how to find out more about OCD in multi horned sheep? I have a 2 week old lamb, that has been having some problems.. He gets better everyday, but a very educated person and I spoke of OCD and its symptoms....This lamb has a few of them. We are going to the vet on Monday as the vet suspects that he had a pinched nerve in utero or during the birth process. HE dodnt walk until he was a week old, and now runs and plays, but has a wobble to him. GO figure.. he is the the most stunning, perfectly market, incredible structured ram, with 4 wide spaced horns, a real stud prospect as he is outside bloodlines of my original flock... SIGH.....Vet may also opt for accupuncture as well. We will get a Xray of the back, and possibly the skull.
Any input... Feel free to reply to me privatley if needed
