The lame rear legs sounds like Myco but in my experience they don't usually die from it, they just drag their rear end around for a while and usually get back up on their own provided the pen mates don't beat them up.


Johnny is thinking Strep but that's usually laying completely flat on their side paddling, not just the rear legs lame.




If there has been more than one I'd get a vet out to take some samples to send in for testing.




 



They are paddling with their front legs and not moving their back.
