tube feeding a lamb

It was noticed that one of the triplets (13B) became week and skinny.  It looked like she was about to die.
We tried to bottle feed her but she showed no interest. We decided to try to tube feed her directly to her stomach.
We had never done this before, so we watched this youtube video before we attempted the task.

It worked, the lamb recovered and was reunited with the mother and sisters.
